I'm from another college or university. I am a member of the public, and this is a state institution. VCU Libraries instituted these new regulations in response to student, faculty, and staff complaints regarding the availability of PCs within Cabell Library. The intent behind the policy is to ensure that students, staff and faculty of VCU have priority access to the PCs and the Internet while ensuring that registered patrons of the library and members of the public have access to research related sites on the Internet. If they wish to do research on a site that requires a proxy login, they must come to one of the service desks and request assistance.
Identification is required.
I am not a registered patron and I am not affiliated with VCU, however I am a member of the public, and this is a state institution. Members of the public who are not affiliated with VCU and do not fall into any of the above categories have access to VCU Libraries as a research facility. Members of the public have unrestricted use of most of our electronic database resources and full-text electronic journals. In addition, they have unrestricted access to Internet sites in the .edu, .gov, .org, .mil, and .us domains. Active members of the Alumni Association can become Community Borrowers at a discounted rate and have the access described above for Community Borrowers.
