Policies for Use of Laptop Internet Connections in the Libraries

  • It is the user’s responsibility to purchase network card (e.g., Ethernet) and cable (Cat 5, RJ45).
  • Registered users may use only those Internet Connections for public Laptop use. Unplugging lines or cables to Libraries’ computer equipment or printers is not permitted and will result in immediate termination of privileges to use Laptop Internet Connections within the Libraries.
  • Laptop Internet Connections cannot be reserved.  Registration for the use of Laptop Internet Connections in the Libraries does not guarantee a line will be available.
  • Individuals are responsible for their personal property.  The Libraries are not responsible for the loss or theft of an individual’s personal property.  (Warning:  There have been reported instances of unattended property as stolen within the libraries including the enclosed carrels for graduate students.)
  • Use of the Laptop Internet Connections in group-study rooms within the Libraries will be under the same policies that apply for those rooms—study groups have precedence over individuals for use of those rooms.
  • The Libraries supply no support for problems with personal computers.  If there is a problem with an Internet Connection within the libraries, please call the Office of Libraries Technology at (502) 852-8712 or email to libtech@louisville.edu email
  • Be sure to password protect your Windows 2000 and XP systems and any shared folders on your laptop.
