Colgate students, faculty, and staff are priority users. Others may be asked to relinquish workstations for Colgate-affiliated users. As a United States Government Depository Library, we also grant priority status for use of computers in the Reference Areas to persons using United States Government Documents. Colgate reserves the right to prohibit use of its computers by any non-Colgate persons. Computers may not be reserved or held for later use.
Computers are often in high demand.
Anyone leaving a computer for more than a short break should close all programs and remove personal belongings from the workstation. Computers that remain unattended for more than ten minutes are available for use by other patrons. Colgate does not recommend leaving personal belongings unattended and is not responsible for losses. Chatroom use is not permitted on public workstations in the Colgate Libraries unless required for Colgate courses. Computers are made available in the libraries to Colgate students, faculty, and staff primarily to support coursework, research, and electronic mail .
