FOOTHILL COLLEGE LIBRARY & MEDIA CENTER
Computer Use Policy
The Foothill College Library and Media Center provide access to the Internet and other electronic resources via computer workstations in order to support the curriculum at Foothill College and to enhance other academic endeavors. Computers in the library are intended for academic research. Word processing, email and participation in online classes are available in the Media Center.
Individuals are responsible for using the library's electronic resources in an ethical, non-discriminatory, equitable, and lawful manner. Engaging in any activity that is at variance with these policies and responsibilities can result in the loss of access privileges and/or legal prosecution.
The library's electronic workstations and the materials to which they provide access constitute resources to be shared equitably among registered student users. If and when the number of computer workstations is insufficient to meet demand, the Library and Media Center staff may, at their discretion, limit individual sessions to academic activity or a certain time period and/or may limit access to those in the primary user group. (Primary users are currently enrolled students, faculty and staff of Foothill College.)
Compliance with FHDA District Policy
Any student using the machines located in the Foothill Library or Media Center needs to be in compliance with District Policy #3250. The District's Computer and Network Use Policy may be found at this Web site: http://ets.fhda.edu/etac/policies.
Privacy Policy
Although the Foothill College Library/Media Center attempts to protect your privacy, under the federal USA Patriot Act (Public Law 107-56), records of the books and other materials you borrow from this library and/or media center may be obtained by federal agents. The federal law prohibits library and media center employees from informing you if federal agents have obtained records about you.
Unauthorized and prohibited software has been found on computers in the Media Center that can track every keystroke you type. We attempt to prevent such software from being installed and remove it as soon as we discover it. However, you need to know that any data you enter on public computers may be recorded and used by someone else in an illegal and prohibited manner.
According to Board Policy #3250, "the District Network is not to be relied upon as confidential, and all District employees, students, independent contractors and authorized guests can have no expectation of privacy concerning their uses of the District Network or concerning information created or stored in such media."
