Library Policies: Copying, Printing & Computer Policies

You will lose your computer lab privileges if you:

• Reconfigure the operating system of any computer.
• Use abusive language, sexually harass, or engage in physical contact with any staff or person using the labs.
• Remove (steal) any hardware or peripheral from a workstation.

The library's Computer Lab is located on the first floor of the Law Library in the northeast section of the Federal Reading Room in Room #168. The lab is administered by the library staff.

The lab is open during Law Library hours. Lab computers require a valid log-in. Students, faculty and staff must use their officially assigned Law Center login IDs. Students obtain log-in IDs from the Information Technology Department located on the 2nd floor of the Law Center during the registration process at the beginning of the fall semester. Library guests may obtain a temporary guest ID at the Circulation & Reserve Desk.

The Computer Lab is supported by the Library Support Specialist, the full-time law library staff, and student research assistants. The purpose of the lab is to provide access to the Internet and :

• Email accounts
• LexisNexis and Westlaw
• Class related research
• General information research

The  Computer Lab will close 15 minutes prior to the official closing time of the library:

There are several computer workstations in the Law Library that are available to the public to facilitate research and provide access to library materials.

The Law Library asks that you respect the following policies on workstation use:

• The public computer workstations have been furnished to facilitate research and provide access to library materials.
• All other uses, including email, chat rooms, games, and recreational web-surfing are inappropriate.

Law students may use the computers in the lab to check their email and to do Westlaw and Lexis-Nexis research.
