Carter G. Woodson Library Computer Use Policy
Computer Use Guidelines
Use of computing resources is a privilege. Computers in the library are available for research, learning, scholarship, and support of teaching. Users are expected to follow all policies of the City Colleges of Chicago and local, state, and federal laws. These laws and policies cover such areas as illegal access to computer systems, networks, and files; and copyright and harassment issues.
Every computer has access to the library catalog and databases from the library home page. There are no computers dedicated to searching the catalog. Recreational use is only for when no MXC community member needs a computer for learning or research.
All members of the MXC community will be given priority over non-MXC patrons. Community members may use the computers only if not needed by a student or faculty member for their learning or research. Users 14-years of age and under must have a parent or guardian present to use any computer unless they are enrolled as students. The library reserves the right to set time limits during busy periods.
Remember to save your work to a USB drive or email the file(s) to yourself. All files saved to the library computers are automatically erased.
Do not view pornographic or other offensive sites that may be disturbing to a passerby. Anyone using a computer for any purpose that violates the law or CCC policies will be asked to leave the campus and may be subject to legal or disciplinary action.
Use of Printers
The library has one printer for all library computer print jobs, located just west of the Reference Desk. The cost is 5 cents per page. The print server computer will accept payment using your printer card, which can be purchased in the library.
