    Internet Policy:

    Onondaga Free Library is pleased to offer Internet access to the public. This gateway
    increases the library's ability to fulfill its mission of making information available to all. This
    document outlines our policy regarding Internet access. These rules are subject to revision
    at any time and users are responsible for staying informed about current policy.

    Internet access is a privilege extended to the public by Onondaga Free Library -- Library
    staff reserves the right to end any computer session at its discretion.

    The library's Internet access may be used for legal purposes only. It is the responsibility of
    the user to acquaint him/herself with what constitutes legal/illegal behavior on the Internet. By
    using the access provided, the user agrees to indemnify the Onondaga Free Library from
    any action taken as a result of the user's illegal behavior.

    Library patrons shall not use the library Internet resources in any manner that
    violates library policy, federal, state, or local laws.

    Personal software shall not be installed or used without staff permission. Library computers
    are not set up for gaming, chat rooms, or instant messaging. Web-based e-mail is
    acceptable, but the library does not provide online services such as AOL, MSN, etc.

    The Internet is a largely unregulated, global information structure that contains material
    which is offensive to some and in some cases is unsuitable for children. The Onondaga Free
    Library supports the Constitutional right of free speech and does not censor any Internet
    content (except in the children's area). It is solely the responsibility of the parents to monitor
    the usage of their children. Please note: children under 7 must be accompanied by an adult
    on the computers. Only parents and guardians, not the library staff, may restrict children
    from Internet access or other library resources.

    It is the responsibility of patrons to educate themselves regarding the use and
    navigation of the Internet. The library will provide pointers to materials within the library
    and online to assist in this education.

    By using the Internet access the Onondaga Free Library provides, you indicate agreement
    with the policies in this document and any additional policies posted at the Internet access
