Does the library have computers that I can use?
Answer
There are 50 patron computers and 2 catalog computers in the library. The patron computers provide access to the Internet and have Microsoft Office installed. Check with a library staff member for more information. The library computers are primarily provided for course-related work. Academic use is always given priority over usage for personal entertainment. If you wish to save documents, you should bring your own USB drive or other recordable media with you. Insert these before starting on your project and remember to save regularly. Please ask for assistance if you are not sure how to save a file. The library Computer Use Process is listed below.
Computer Use Process
The patron computers provide access to the Internet, office productivity software, library printers, and a variety of other resource software, which support the curriculum of the college. The computers are primarily provided to support class-related assignments and priority will be given to that purpose. The patron computers may be used by currently enrolled Angelina College students, faculty, and staff, as well as to those that live within the College’s service area. AC students, faculty and staff are given priority. Computer equipment is provided for the use of the college community. Patrons are responsible for all charges accrued using any computer resource. Time limits on patron computers will be determined as needed. The library reserves the right to impose time and other usage limits in order to provide priority access for students on class-related assignments. Computers may only be reserved by AC faculty or staff, on an occasional basis, for class-related work. Patrons will be held accountable for damage to any equipment. Patrons are prohibited from altering any program, setting, or data. Never use any college-provided computing resource to view or transmit obscene or pornographic material or anything illegal, threatening or deliberately destructive— even a joke. A patron is personally responsible for his/her actions in accessing and utilizing the library’s computer resources. Usage is a privilege, not a right, and may be revoked if abused. Repeated misuse of the workstations may result in usage being denied.
