Reasonable use includes making only authorized copies of copyrighted or licensed software or data. All responsibility for the consequences of copyright infringement rest with the user. The library expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility resulting from such use. Internet access via library equipment, therefore, must not be used for illegal, improper, or illicit purposes. Employees need to keep in mind that all Internet usage can be recorded and stored along with the source and destination.
Patrons have no right to privacy with regard to Internet use.
The library has the ability and right to view patron's usage patterns and take action to assure that library Internet resources are devoted to maintaining the highest levels of productivity. The Internet path record is the property of the library and therefore the taxpayers. Such information is subject to the Texas Public Information Act and the laws applicable to State records retention. Patron use of the Internet is a privilege, not a right. The privilege may be revoked at any time and for any reason.
