OWLSnet Wireless Internet Access
Conditions & Guidelines
|
|
Wireless
Internet access is available within OWLSnet member libraries for use
by library patrons.
Use of the wireless network is subject to the following conditions and
guidelines:
|
- The
library does not filter any content and cannot control information
accessed through the Internet.
|
- The
library assumes no responsibility for the independent use of the wireless
network by children. Parents are responsible for the independent use
of the wireless network, and the Internet, by their children under
the age of 18.
|
- The
library's wireless network may not be used for any unauthorized, illegal,
or unethical purposes.
- The
library prohibits use of the wireless network to access material
that is obscene, contains child pornography, or is harmful to
minors.
- The
library prohibits use of the wireless network to misrepresent
oneself online for any purpose of including gaining access to
people or services.
- Inappropriate
use may result in denial of access to the wireless network.
|
- The
library does not guarantee the availability of the wireless network.
- The
network may not be available during times of high use or during
technical problems.
- Signal
strength and performance may vary within the building. Some areas
may not have service or may experience slower service.
- The
library's wireless network is not intended to be a source of Internet
service for any residence or business location. Continuous or
regular connection to the wireless network from outside the library
may be inappropriate and may be blocked.
|
- The
library expects patrons to configure their own equipment to access
the wireless network and is not responsible for any damage resulting
to personal equipment from improper configurations.
|
- Wireless
networks are not necessarily secure, and the library does not guarantee
the security of its wireless network. Information is not protected
except when connected to web pages that employ encryption techniques.
|
- Printing
is not available from the library's wireless network.
|
- Due to restrictions by Internet Service Providers, only web-based
e-mail is likely to function correctly on the library's wireless network.
