Computer and Internet Use

To achieve an atmosphere conducive to the best use of its resources, CLTCC has developed the following rules regarding the use of public computers:

• Use of the Internet is governed by US Law. The user may not use the Internet for any illegal activity or place any material on the Internet related to any illegal activity.
• Users may not invade the privacy of others or engage in any activity that is harassing, defamatory, or threatening, or receive or display graphics that may reasonably be construed as obscene as defined by law.
• It is the responsibility of the user to respect copyright laws and licensing agreements and assume responsibility for payment of fees for any fee-based service.
• Obstruct the work of others by consuming gratuitously large amounts of system resources or by deliberately crashing any library computer system.
• Make any attempt to damage computer equipment or software.
• Make any attempt to alter software configurations in a malicious manner.
• Make any attempt to cause degradation of system performance.
• Use any library workstation for an illegal or criminal purpose.
• Engage in any activity which is deliberately and maliciously offensive, libelous, or slanderous.
• Represent yourself as another person for purposes of fraud or other illegal activity.
• Illegal acts involving computer resources may be subject to prosecution by local, state, and federal officials.
