Computer Policy

Before using the computers in the JCC library, all students, faculty, staff, and community patrons are asked to sign a computer policy. The policy reads as follows:

Each student who wishes to utilize and does in fact utilize the Johnston Community College Library computers will be expected to sign, date, and comply with the JCC Library Computer Policy Agreement. Failure to sign, date, and comply with this agreement will result in an immediate suspension of all Library privileges.

The Library Computer Policy is as follows:

Users must:

• Follow all Library regulations and Conduct Policy.
• Present a valid, updated JCC Student ID to the librarian on duty at the front desk. Permission to use Library computers cannot be granted until the ID is presented. Student ID's can be obtained in the Library.
• Students are limited to 1 hour of computer usage per day. If additional time is required, students should request additional time from the librarian on duty. Extra time will be granted if machines are available.
• Print legibly all areas of the sign in/out form before using Library computers.
• Use computers for course/school related work only.
• Remain quiet and respectful of other student's right to use Library computers.

Users cannot:

• Chat or date online - which includes instant messaging and viewing pictures/profiles from websites such as Xanga, MySpace, etc.
• Go to, use, or surf any pornographic, offensive, or racist websites.
• Play games online.
• Download any programs, watch, or listen to music, or watch non-educational videos.
• Shop online which includes eBay, online catalogs, and other online auction activities.
• Printing is 5 cents per copy. The items printed must be course related. Unauthorized printing is a violation of this policy.
• Bring any type of food or drink, including water, into the Library. All food and liquids must be consumed or discarded before entering the Library. This includes but not limited to bottled and canned drinks. No exceptions!
• Share computers or tutor other students while in the computer area or Library. Please be considerate of others.

College cell phone policy states: Cell phones must be turned off while inside the Library and all students must exit the Library to use their cell phone.

Students are not allowed to download pictures and ringtones from or onto their cell phones in the Library.

Library staff will strictly adhere to a three strike policy. A Johnston Community College Library Conduct Incident Report will be completed and filed for each violation of the above policy. A student's Library privileges can and will be suspended indefinitely upon the completion and filing of that particular student's third Library Conduct Incident Report. No exceptions for any student, for any reason, will be made. Failure to follow the guidelines of the Library's policy and the College's AUP policy will result in the suspension of computer usage. A copy of your signed and dated Library Computer Policy Agreement will be kept on file in the Library for future reference.

By signing the Library Computer Lab Policy Agreement you are in fact agreeing to its terms and usage.
