The library has high speed Internet access on seven computers, all of which are also used to access the library's database catalog. None of these computers has other software (such as Word, Powerpoint, etc.) loaded on them. If somone is waiting to use either the Internet or catalog, a maximum use time limit of 20 minutes will be enforced. Certain restrictions on game playing, instant messaging, email and other recreational Internet uses may be enforced when other patrons are waiting to use terminals for research purposes, or when such use causes disruptions for other patrons or staff. We also offer a wireless "hot spot" connection that can be used, free of charge, in conjunction with your own personal laptop computer. The connection is accessible throughout the library.
