Orientation may include training in the use of software and hardware, and guidelines for the responsible care of library equipment. The library will establish procedures that will make World Wide Web stations available as equitably as possible. World Wide Web use will be managed in a manner consistent with all library policies but especially those policies regarding disruptive behavior, unattended children, and vandalism. These policies are available at all public service desks and in the administrative offices at the library. Prospective users will sign a computer usage contract.
Users are responsible for the correct and proper use of the computers.
Some remote sites may request or require registration to access all or a portion of their data, and in most cases the registration form will ask for your e- mail address. In order to complete these forms, you must have an e-mail address from an Internet service provider, such as the Cedar Rapids Public Library's Personal Internet Connection, your employer, school or a commercial provider. The library affirms the right and responsibility of parents or guardians to guide, determine, and monitor their children's use of library materials and resources. The user's account with the Cedar Rapids Public Library must be in good standing before use of the web station is allowed. The library's home page will identify specific starting points which are consistent with the library's mission and service roles.
