Computing Policies

Norris Library computers are for the use of USC faculty, staff, students, and affiliates. A few computers with access to limited resources are available to all library users.

Unauthorized duplication and distribution of copyrighted material is expressly forbidden. Software and information is protected by federal copyright laws.

Users are responsible for a computer while it is logged in under their user name or checked out to them and must abide by university computing policies as described in ITS Policies. Violation of policies may result in suspension of computer privileges.

User data on hard drives is erased regularly. Use caution when leaving data on library computers as files are viewable by others.

Computer consultants are available for help in using library computers and software. Consultants do not have expertise in all software. Safari Tech Books Online provides extensive information on software and technical issues.
