Internet Access and Acceptable Use Policy

The priority for use of Internet workstations is research in religion and theology, and work on class-related assignments. Users of the Internet workstations in the library are expected to follow the guidelines given below.

Please note:

  • Web pages and PDF files can be viewed and printed. The printing charge is 5 cents per page. Please pay at the Circulation Desk.

  • Display of sexually explicit graphics is prohibited.

  • Unauthorized copying of copyright-protected materials is prohibited.
  • Interfering with or disrupting other services or equipment is prohibited.

Security

  • Deliberate altering of any files or modifying the configuration of any PC or peripheral is considered a violation of computer system security and will result in the loss of library computer privileges, with possible legal ramifications.
  • Violating computer system or network integrity, including attempts to bypass network security, obtain passwords, or the unauthorized use of passwords will result in the loss of library computer privileges, with possible legal ramifications.
  • Destruction or damage of equipment due to willful misuse will result in legal action.
  • Willful removal of any part of the PC will be considered theft and will result in legal action.

Users who do not leave the workstation when requested to do so by staff will be asked to leave the library.

Copying and Printing

The Library has a top down book scanner, xerox photocopier, and other audio/visual equipment for patron use.

The xerox photocopier accepts cash and copy cards, which can only be purchased at the vending machine on Level 2. The card is reusable and additional funds may be added to the card. The card itself costs $1; additional funds must be added beyond that initial $1 in order to pay for copies. Patrons are responsible for their cards and any "bad copies" they make.

The top-down book scanner creates PDFs and it is free. You can email the PDF to yourself or save it to a flash drive.

Please report any photocopier problems to the Circulation Desk.
