Internet & Computer Usage Policy

The Internet is provided at no cost to help supplement the information available inside the library. The Internet is considered, above all else, an information source. Certain limitations have been imposed regarding the software available on the computers. These limitations also restrict any software from being downloaded onto this machine. In addition, the Internet access provided by Osceola County is filtered, which restricts access to some web sites. Keep in mind the computers are in a public area and a customer's view is not private. Please be considerate of those around you. Any customer found to be using the computers and/or Internet inappropriately will have his or her computer privileges revoked, the length of time determined on a per-violation basis. Inappropriate use includes, though is not limited to:

• Accessing, transmitting, downloading, uploading, viewing or distributing pornographic obscene, or sexually explicit materials. See Florida Statutes 847.011(1)(a) and 847.0133(1).
• Violating any local, state, or federal statute.
• Harassing another customer; disrupting another customer's use of the computers.
• Attempting to download onto the computer's hard drive. The use of the C drive and CD-ROM drive is prohibited.
• Damaging, destroying, or removing any equipment, software or data belonging to the library or other users.

Internet Disclaimer

The Internet is an unregulated global entity and is the largest electronic information network in the world. Due to its constantly changing nature, the Osceola County Library System has no control over the information or its quality, accuracy, or currency. The Library System assumes no responsibility for the content of any Internet sites. Links to other sites, from the Library System's website, are provided as additional resources and do not imply sponsorship or identification with the Osceola County Library System. It is not the Library's policy to decide what ideas or information to which children should be exposed. Parents or legal guardians are solely responsible for their child's, and only their child's, use of the Internet. The Osceola County Library System will not assume responsibility for damages, direct or indirect, arising from the use of electronic services through our System, including the Internet. Please see our Computer Use and Code of Conduct pages for more specific guidelines and procedures.
