Schimek Tech Library Internet Policy Enacted Tech Library recently formulated an Internet Policy for patrons who use the computers in the reference area. In part, the policy delineates acceptable and unacceptable activities. Acceptable use of Internet resources includes research and information retrieval. NMT students will be given priority over non-students if all of the computers are being used. While email is an acceptable use, patrons are asked to limit time spent on email to ten minutes to allow maximum access to online resources.
Unacceptable use includes reconfiguring hardware or software, use of chat lines, and playing games.
Prohibited activities include use of the computers for illegal, inappropriate, or obscene purposes. Failure to follow the guidelines could result in loss of library privileges. You can restrict your searches to full text only, by date of publication or by journal title. Or you can select from natural language searching, expert and advanced search modes. If your instructor requires that you find peer reviewed or refereed journals, you can easily limit your search by this factor.
