WiFi at the Lockport Public Library

• The Library's wireless network is not secure. Information sent from your laptop can be captured by anyone else with a wireless device and the appropriate software within 300 feet.

• Library staff is not able to provide technical assistance, and no guarantee can be provided that you will be able to make a wireless connection.

• The Library assumes no responsibility for the safety, function, or performance of equipment, or for laptop configurations, security, or data files resulting from the connection to the Library's network.

• All users of the Library's network must abide by the Internet Acceptable Use policy as follows:

• In offering Internet access, the Lockport Public Library cannot guarantee that information found through the Internet is either accurate, authoritative, or factual. We cannot be held responsible for its content, nor can the library control access points which often change rapidly and unpredictably.

• As with other library materials, supervision or restriction of a child's access to the Internet is the responsibility and right of the parent or legal guardian. All minors (under 13) who wish to use the Internet are required to complete a library permission slip signed by the parent or legal guardian.
  

• Library staff's availability to help users with basic computer use or with Internet access is limited. We cannot offer personal instruction.

• Users will be charged for printouts. (Printing is not available via the wireless connection. If you need to print, you must first email the files to your own Web-based email account, or save the files to a floppy disk, CD, or USB jump drive; then use one of our public Internet computers to print to the photocopier.)

• The computer may be used for legal purposes only. Unacceptable purposes include but are not limited to the following:

• Destruction or damage to the equipment, software, or data belonging to the library.
• Unauthorized copying of copyright protected material.
• Violation of computer security.
• Violation of software license agreements.
• Violation of user privacy.
• Viewing of obscene, pornographic, or otherwise inappropriate material.

• Misuse or abuse of Internet access may result in suspension of Internet and/or Library privileges.  The Library has the right to revoke Internet privileges for any violation of the acceptable use policy. In accepting this policy, users agree to abide by all library policies.
