Library Wireless Laptop Policies
Laptop computers are available for check out
at the MSU-Great Falls Library. These are equipped with wireless
network cards which will allow for Internet access throughout
the Library. Each laptop will be clearly marked with an MSU-Great
Falls ownership symbol and will have a machine number, barcode
and security tag.
Check out:
- Users must agree to the terms of checkout by signing a Library
Laptop Checkout Agreement. This includes assuming financial
responsibility for the equipment.
- Privileges will be revoked for any patron violating the
use agreement. In addition, any blocks on a patron record
(overdue fines, etc.) will also prohibit laptop borrowing.
- A valid MSU ID card must be shown to check out a laptop.
Community library users (courtesy borrowers) will not be eligible
to check out laptop computers, but will be directed to use
Library desktop computers.
- Laptops will be checked out for 2 hours or until the Library
closes, if that is less than 2 hours; one renewal may be allowed,
depending on availability. Laptops should be returned 15 minutes
before the Library closes. $2.00 per hour overdue fines will
be accessed.
- Power cords and external floppy drives will be checked out
with laptops by request. Laptops will have a battery life
of up to 3½ hours. Electrical outlets are available
throughout the Library.
Laptop use:
- Laptops are for use only in the Library and may not leave
the Library.
- Borrowers must agree to not leave a laptop unattended and
to refrain from having food and/or drink around the unit.
- Users must comply with MUS Board of Regents and MSUGF policies
for computer and network use.
- Borrowers are expected to refrain from installing, deleting,
modifying, or otherwise altering any hardware, software or
data on the laptops, including display and desktop configurations.
Saving to an external pen drive is recommended, but files
can be saved to a disk, emailed, or saved to assigned server
storage space on the campus network.
- Printing is available to laptop users. The default printer
is the 4300 printer located in the computer lab.
- Users should be aware that campus computers are not private
or guaranteed secure and use of personal information should
be kept to a minimum.
- Users should immediately report any problems with a laptop
to a Library staff member.
- Each laptop must be returned to a Library staff member.
Library staff will check each laptop in and complete the checkout
agreement.
