Computer Use Guidelines
Library public workstations are for use by all library users to accomplish their research related tasks. Most workstations require library users to login to their network account. Library staff may be asked for assistance.
Most of the computers will have Microsoft Office applications installed on them and all of them will offer Internet access. Priority will be given to registered Saskatchewan Polytechnic students during busy times. Library staff reserves the right to ask for valid identification
Some computer labs are also used for library instruction sessions. Bookings for instruction dates and times will be posted on the lab doors.
Computers require authentication with a Saskatchewan Polytechnic username and password and are not available to the general public.
WiFi is available for the general public.
No food is permitted at the computers; only drinks in closed containers (e.g., water bottles, coffee cups with lids).
Service Regulations
- Library staff and ITS are not required to give technical support except to assist with printing.
- Children under 13 will not be allowed to use Saskatchewan Polytechnic computers unless accompanied by an adult. Parents and caregivers are responsible for the use their children make of the internet.
Saskatchewan Polytechnic Library prohibits use of its workstations for illegal purposes including, but not limited to:
- Harassment, libeling or slandering of others
- Fraud or invasion of privacy
- Gambling
- Display or dissemination of hate literature, child pornography, literature for illicit drug use, or obscene material
- Display or dissemination of any material tending to deprive any person of his or her rights, to expose any person to hatred, or to affront human dignity
- Infringement of copyright.
Saskatchewan Polytechnic uses Internet Filtering software; therefore, some Internet sites may not be accessible which Saskatchewan Polytechnic Library has no control over.
Malicious Use/Data Modification
Users must not intentionally introduce or use malicious software such as computer viruses, Trojan horses, or worms. Users are also prohibited from taking unauthorized actions to intentionally modify or delete information or programs.
Computer Use
The public is able to print (normal charges apply) and to save to a device (flash drive, etc.). Library staff and ITS are not required to give technical support except to assist with printing.
Photocopying and scanning services are also available.
Digital Resources
Digital resources available through Saskatchewan Polytechnic Library are licensed by Saskatchewan Polytechnic for non-commercial use by Saskatchewan Polytechnic faculty, staff, students, and on-site users, for educational or research purposes only. Additional restrictions may apply to on-site users of certain digital resources.
Personal Devices
We welcome the use of laptops and other personal computing devices in the Libraries. Users may connect personal equipment only to the wireless network, or to ports designated for such use. Users may not unplug any of the Libraries' equipment or cables for any reason. Use of personal equipment, such as extension, adaptor, or power cords must not pose a safety hazard for others.
Saving Files
Borrowers should not save any data to the hard drive (c:\ drive). Borrowers are encouraged to save all digital data at regular intervals to their One Drive application and to back-up data using more than one device, e.g.. email, removable storage, etc. Loss of digital data due to device malfunction, manipulation by other library users or user error is in no way the responsibility of the library.
