The Internet is a global collection of computer networks that connects thousands of computers all over the world. Use of the Des Plaines Valley Public Library District's Internet computers will provide patrons with access to the vast amount of information available through these connections.

The Des Plaines Valley Public Library District has no control over these resources nor can the Library District have complete knowledge of what is on the Internet. Information on the Internet may be reliable and current or it can be erroneous, out-of-date, illegal, offensive, or controversial. As with all other
Library resources, it is the responsibility of the user to select or reject on-line information for his/her own use. Users are encouraged to exercise good judgment and discretion in their use of the Internet.

As with other Library materials, parents and legal guardians who are concerned about their children's use of the Internet should provide guidance to their own children and should monitor their use of this resource. Only you have the right to define what material or information is consistent with your personal and
family beliefs, and only you can apply those values for yourself and your children as you use the Library's resources. The Library does not act as parent.

The Library staff will provide patrons with basic instruction in how to connect to the Internet. It is the responsibility of the user to learn how to navigate the Internet. Printed sources regarding the Internet are available in the Library.

An agreement with the Library's Internet provider prohibits any unlawful use of the Internet. Although the Library’s Internet access is filtered, the user may not use the Internet for any illegal activity or place any material on the Internet related to any illegal activity. Obscene and/or illegal content is not permitted. It
is the responsibility of the user to adhere to copyright laws and licensing agreements. Patrons 17 years of age and older may request that the filters be temporarily turned off if they feel access to legal information is being denied. However, all policies governing usage will remain in effect. The Library's staff shall develop such rules and procedures as are necessary to insure the fair and reasonable use of Internet resources. The Library District reserves the right to amend its policies at any time.
