Usage Policies

Multimedia Services is equipped with a small computer lab for use of CD-ROMs, Web sites with audio and video material, and other multimedia Internet and course material. A scanner is available for student use, see the scanner policy and procedures. There is currently no printing in the lab.

Use of the lab is limited to current students, faculty and staff. A valid Viking Card is required for admittance to the lab. To gain admittance to the lab, users must display a current CSU ID and sign in at the Multimedia Services Service Desk on the third floor of the Library. Students may use the equipment for one hour after they have signed in, but may use it longer if there is no one waiting for use of the lab.

Users may save files temporarily to the hard drive in C:\My Documents\Users, but files left over night may be deleted. Personal software should not be loaded on lab computers without prior authorization.

Library staff will do their best to assist users, but extended assistance cannot be guaranteed at all times. Users requiring further assistance can make an appointment with Jeff Beuck at (216) 687-7486.

No food or drink is permitted in the lab.

Library Staff reserves the right to ask users who do not comply with these procedures to leave the lab.
