Library Computer Use Policy
Computing and telecommunications facilities located in the Norton Library
are provided primarily for the use of the College's students, faculty,
and staff. Recognizing the library's mission to serve users beyond the
campus, the College designates a limited number of computer workstations
for the general public to use when not needed by LC students, faculty,
or staff.
Complaints against off-campus visitors will be referred to the library
staff and then to campus security if necessary.
