MORRISON AND MARY WILEY LIBRARY EQUIPMENT AND COMPUTER USE POLICY
6/05/06
The Morrison and Mary Wiley Library reserves the right to limit, refuse and/or ban any patron from using the library equipment and computers. Use is limited to patrons in good standing (all fines have been paid, all overdue materials have been returned and any lost materials have been paid for.)
Anyone under the age of ten must be accompanied by a parent or guardian while using library equipment or computers. Children under the age of 18 are required to have a parent or guardian sign a permission form before they begin to use the computers. Usage for equipment and computers is on a “first come, first served” basis. All patrons shall sign in at the circulation desk prior to use of the computers. Patrons must fill in the Computer Use Sheet with their first and last name, date, time signed in, time signed out and number of computer used. If all computers are being used when a patron arrives, they will sign their first and last name to the computer use sheet. A patron will be able to determine when a computer will be available by checking sign in times on the computer use sheet. Once one patron is finished with the computer, the next patron on the computer use form who is waiting will fill in the time and the number of the computer they will be using. Patrons are asked to remember to write in a sign out time when they are done using a computer. All patrons must speak with a librarian before use of any of the other equipment (fax, copier and microfilm machine).
Use of computers is limited to 30 minute blocks, however, the patron may continue to use the computer until another patron wishes to use it. Copyright laws forbid duplication of copyrighted software. The library may restrict the use of personal software on library computers. There is a charge of $.20 per page for black and white printing and $.50 for color printing. Library staff may provide assistance to patrons with the computers, as time and staff knowledge permit. The library has Wifi available for patrons use. The library is equipped with a wireless network. This means that patrons may bring in their laptop computer and connect to the Internet. The rules for all computer use are the same. Patrons may not view material that is inappropriate for children to view. Appropriateness of material will be determined by library staff.
The library has a copy machine that may be used by patrons. The cost per copy is $.20. The library has a fax machine that patrons may use. The cost is $1.50 for the first page and $1.00 for each additional page, if the fax is sent in Illinois.
