Acceptable Use Policy for Electronic Resources

Internet resources and other resources delivered via computer workstations at Cabrillo College Library are made available to enhance and facilitate teaching, learning, and scholarly endeavors.

• Primary activities: The Library provides these electronic resources for the support of the instruction goals of Cabrillo College. Other uses, including electronic mail, game playing, and participation in chat rooms, forums and newsgroups are considered secondary activities. The Library will require that no secondary activities take place if they interfere with the goals of supporting instruction.
• Primary user group: Students, faculty, and staff at Cabrillo College constitute the Library's primary user group.
• Individual responsibility: Individuals are responsible for using the Library's electronic resources in an ethical, non-discriminatory and lawful manner.  Engaging in any activity that is at variance with these policies and responsibilities can result in the loss of access privileges.
• Equitable access: The Library's electronic workstations and the materials to which they provide access constitute resources to be shared equitably among users.
• Limiting use: The Library supports equity of access to Internet and other electronic information resources. If and when the number of information workstations is insufficient to meet demand, rationing service (i.e., limiting individual sessions to a certain time period and/or limiting access to those in the primary user group) may be necessary to provide equitable access.
