Purpose
The public internet computers are made available to patrons
of the library for accessing the internet, sending and receiving email, word processing, and other
appropriate uses. Guests at the library may request a guest computer pass. Users must agree to this
computer use policy each time they use the library's internet computers.
Computer User Responsibilties
The computer user, whether a patron or a guest, agrees to the following:
to not access sexually explicit internet sites, and to immediately report any accidental
access of sexually explicit sites;
to limit computer use to purposes that are legal in the State of Idaho and the
United States, and to respect and protect the privacy of all persons, companies, and organizations
and to obey all copyright laws;
to accept responsibility for all damages arising from the use of the computers,
including protecting the computers from viruses, Trojan horses, or other harmful or damaging programs
by downloading only to a removable storage device (diskette, jump drive, etc.);
to not change any settings or configurations on the library computers;
to have no more than two persons at a computer;
to reimburse the library for each printed page at the advertised rate;
to limit computer use to one time per day (24 hours period) for the time period
set by the computer software (generally 1-2 hours for patrons; 15-30 minutes for guests); and
that violation of this agreement may result in loss of internet computer privileges
for one year, and that a second offense will result in permanent loss of internet computer privileges.
Parental Permission for Minors
Parental permission is required for all minors (under 18 years of age) using the internet computers.
Filtered Computers
The Library's computers are filtered, but the Library makes no guarantees, implied or otherwise, that
inappropriate sites cannot be accessed.
