The Internet is a relatively unregulated medium on which any person, institution, or group in the world can place information in any format. It is a global entity which does not fall under the governance of any single agency, government, or organization. The Internet offers access to many valuable local, national, and international sources of information. There are few limits or checks on the kind of information that is presented by and accessible to Internet users. Information found on the Internet may or may not be accurate, appropriate, factual, timely, or useful.
Internet sites can change content rapidly and unpredictably.
Consquently, in offering Internet access, it is impractical, if not impossible, for the Library Staff to control access to appropriate sites. Users are hereby notified that they are responsible for the sites they reach. As is the case with all other library materials, any restriction of a child's access to the Internet is the responsibility of the child's parent or legal guardian. The Internet's 'user friendliness' and intrinsic flexibility of access to a wide range of well known and many lesser known information resources demands diligent and thoughtful parental guidance to ensure that their child uses the Internet in an appropriate and safe manner. Users agree to supervise the use of the Internet by their minors.
