Computer and Internet Use

Generally, computers are strictly for medical research. Email users must give way to staff working on research.

Computer use is restricted to faculty, students, and staff and to visitors seeking health or biomedical information.

Visitors may not use library computers for illegal or inappropriate activities or for activities outside the scope of Health and biomedical research, including: misrepresenting oneself on the internet and engaging in fraud, viewing, downloading, or disseminating pornography, participating in chat rooms or forums, playing game,; issuing threats, violating copyright laws or licensing agreements, hacking, altering, deleting, or damaging computer software, hardware, system network, program or data.

Use of mobile phones is not encouraged inside the library as courtesy to library users.

The Health Sciences Library staff will take appropriate action if policies are abused. This may include revoking computer access privileges and contacting the Security Department.
