Aglaura Public Library

INTERNET USE GUIDELINES

Please take a number card at the circulation desk. You must enter on the card the time that you begin using the computer. Please place the card on the top of the computer monitor. By using this computer you are agreeing to abide by the Library's Internet Access Policy and Internet Use Guidelines which are available at the circulation desk.

Computer time will be assigned in thirty minute slots. All printing and downloading must be finished within that time period. Patrons may sign up for two thirty minute time slots per day for a maximum of one hour of computer time. After that time is used, patrons are welcome to use a computer if one is available and no one else is signed up. The Library reserves the right to adjust length of time to accommodate more users, or to terminate a session that becomes disruptive.

Users under the age of 18 must have a signed Youth Access registration form on file or be supervised by an adult.

Users are prohibited from downloading files to a Library computer's hard drive. Files may be downloaded to a floppy disk purchased from the Library. (Anti-virus software should be used to check any downloaded files.) The Library staff can hold this disk for you until your next session. Once a disk leaves the Library it cannot be used in the Library's computers again.

Patrons are prohibited from using programs or files from their own disks or CDs in the Library's computer.

Modifying or attempting to damage computer equipment or software is vandalism to Library property and may result in revocation of computer or Library privileges or legal action.

Responsibility for compliance with licensing and copyright laws lies with the user.

The Library will not provide or support email services for patrons, but will not restrict access to free online email providers. Patrons are asked to take the time to familiarize themselves with the operation of the email program they choose to use.

The charge for printing is 20 cents per page. Payment is expected as soon as the user ends his computer session.

The Library reserves the right to terminate an Internet session if it violates the Library's Code of Conduct.
