Oyster River High School

Internet and Technology Use in the Library

The policy for acceptable use of technology at Oyster River High School states that those using any technology, including the Internet workstations here in the library, will work in a "responsible, ethical, and legal manner and will show respect and consideration for all." Please follow these guidelines when working on the Internet or any of the electronic databases:

 
• If others are waiting to use the workstation, limit your work to ten (10) minutes; if your use of the workstation is not school-related, please be particularly aware that others may need to use the machine for a school project and they have priority.  

   

• Follow school guidelines for acceptable behavior. There are materials on the Internet which are disrespectful of others or otherwise inappropriate for our school setting; please use good judgment and consideration for others in the language and content you are using on the Internet.

   

• Can't find what you need on the World Wide Web? Having problems with a workstation or printer? If so, ask for help. Ms. Kentner and Ms. Grant can help you find the resources you need, whether they are on the Internet or here in our own library.

   

• If you would like to have a copy of what you find on the Internet, there are blank disks available for downloading documents or information. Please be responsible about the amount of printing you do. Ask Ms. Kentner or Miss Smith for assistance. Remember, you will need to give credit for this information if you use it in your own work; ask for information on properly citing material from the Internet in a footnote or bibliography.
