Library Computer Usage Policy

  • Students, faculty, and staff log on to Library computers using their individual user and password account. Log on accounts are set up by Institutional Technology.

  • Library computers are provided for course related research and study. Research is first priority. All library computers are equipped with Microsoft Outlook for students to access their college email account, student portal, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Powerpoint.

  • Users may save files or downloaded items from the Internet to their own USB flash drives or to their allocated space on the College's networked hard drive, known as the H drive.

  • With the use of a Virtual Private Network (VPN), students have the ability to access their files, college email account, and their student portal from off campus.  For instructions on how to access the library's resources, see Off Campus Access.

  • Patrons should log off before leaving the workstation.  This helps ensure your privacy and frees up the computer for the next person to use.

Printing and Copying

  • The library provides access to two printers and one public copier for student, faculty and staff use.

  • At this time, printing services are free of charge, however, we request that library users be mindful of paper waste and preview the document to be printed and noting the page count prior to sending the job to the printer, particularly when printing documents from the Internet. 

  • Use of the copy machine is 10 cents per page.  Change is available in the library.

 

WARNING CONCERNING COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS:

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, US Codes) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries are authorized to furnish a photocopy or reproduction. One of these specific conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for or uses a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use", that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse or accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright.
