Library Computer Use Policy
The Pitts Theology Library provides computers and internet access in order to facilitate the learning and research needs of our user community. In accordance with this, library computers and internet access should be used for academic purposes. It is the responsibility of all computer users, those affiliated with Emory University and those who are not, to adhere to computer use policies and follow standards of behavior defined in the Emory University Libraries’ Code of Conduct and in the Emory University Information Technology Conditions of Use. Users must take responsibility for ethical and legal use of the computing resources at the library, including the ethical and legal use of materials accessed through these computing resources. The library grants access to computing resources based on the assumption that access to library computing resources is a privilege, not a right, just as is access to physical resources in the library. A priority for library staff is to create an environment that is welcoming and safe for all library patrons, and should a library staff member or other Emory University official determine that a patron’s use of computers or resources access through library computers is in violation of this priority, access to library and computing resources will be revoked, consistent with Emory Libraries’ Code of Conduct. Any member of the Emory community who feels that a computer resource is being misused should report the violation to proper Library or University personnel.
Lookup Terminals
On the first and second floors of the library, there are computer terminals that provide easy access to the library catalogue and other online resources. There are three such machines on the second floor of the library, just as you enter the library by the Circulation Desk. There is one lookup terminal on the first floor, near the elevator. All Pitts lookup terminals are Dell XPS 27" All in Ones, with 8GB DDR RAM.
