Our Internet
Policy
Internet access is available on selected terminals for any user
having a Westchester Library System library card or other acceptable
form of identification. Access to the Internet is compatible with this
Library’s endorsement of the Library Bill of Rights; the Freedom to
Read Statement; the Freedom to View; Access to Electronic
Information
Services and Networks; and with the policies,
goals
and objectives of
this public library.
The Internet allows users to connect to networks of resources
outside
the library. The New Rochelle Public Library has no control
over these resources nor does it have complete knowledge of what is on
the Internet.
The Library does not warrant the information available
through its Internet connection to be accurate, authoritative,
factual, timely or useful,
and it does not endorse the content of the
networked information available.
The Library does not monitor and has
no control over the information accessed through the Internet, and it
cannot be held responsible
for the content of the networked
information available
through its
Internet connection.
It is assumed that information and resources accessible
through the Library's Internet connection are private to the
individuals
and
organizations by these owners or holders of rights.
In particular, it is important to respect the legal protection
that is provided by copyright
and licenses to programs and data.
The New Rochelle Public Library assumes no responsibility for any
damages,
direct or indirect, arising from use of its electronic
services,
or from its connections to other Internet services
through
any Internet service provider.
Library users
access the Internet at
their own discretion. As with other library materials, the restriction of a child’s access to the Internet is the responsibility of the
parent/legal guardian. With regard to children and teenagers, the
Library recommends that parents take an active interest in, and
responsibility for their children’s online use. While young people
need a certain amount of privacy, they also need parental involvement
and supervision in their daily lives.
The same general skills that
apply
to daily life apply while online. A wide variety of information for
parents and children is available at the Westchester Library System YouthServices"OWLS"website.http://www.westchesterlibraries.org/owls/
including the online brochure. "Child Safety on the Information
Highway"
http://www.4j.lane.edu/safety/childtoc.html and Parent Pages
http://wlsmail.wls.lib.ny.us/owls/parentguide.html which offer
many
useful sites aimed at parents.
It is not acceptable to use the Internet
* for illegal activity
* to interfere with or disrupt other users, services or equipment
* for chats, postings, moo's, mushes, or spamming
* to make unauthorized entry to any other machine
- whether internal or external
* for accessing in appropriate materials, including but not limited
to
obscene, lewd, or sexually explicit images or messages
Use of the Library's Internet gateway/connection is intended for
private, non-commercial activities, and does not permit unauthorized
sales and marketing of products or services.
The Library may suspend or terminate computer privileges if
the Library reasonably believes that any user has violated
these policy guidelines.
Library staff will assist patrons with Internet use as time permits.
Formal Internet instruction is offered by the Library staff.
