What is the Library's policy regarding computer use?
Answer
The UAB Libraries’ primary mission is to serve students, staff and faculty of UAB who come into the libraries or access library resources remotely. However, the UAB Libraries also remain committed to serving the research needs of visitors (non-UAB affiliated users) by providing limited on-site access to electronic databases and journals.
Computer passes for visitors are available at the Lister Hill and Sterne Library HUB desks. Visitors must comply with all aspects of the UAB Acceptable Computer Use Policy. Examples of inappropriate use include, but are not limited to, the following:
- violation of computer system integrity;
- unauthorized tampering with computer hardware or software;
- violation of software license agreements and copyright laws;
- violation of another user's privacy;
- use of sounds or visuals which might be disruptive to others.
Illegal acts involving Library computing resources may also be subject to prosecution by local, state, or federal authorities.
