Disclaimer

Ikeda Library is committed to the principles of freedom of thought, inquiry, and expression as set forth in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The library is also guided by the following ALA statements on access to information:

Therefore, the library does not monitor, filter, or censor the information that is available on the terminal computers. At the same time, the library has no control over the information accessible on the Internet and is not responsible for its contents. The workstations in the library are not provided with filtering software that limits access to information.

Use of library computers implies acceptance of this practice.

The Internet contains a wide variety of materials, expressing many points of view. Library patrons use the Internet at their discretion. Users should be aware that some information may be inaccurate, outdated, or offensive. They are advised to properly evaluate the resources according to their academic and research needs.

Websites that librarians believe to be dependable and trustworthy are accessible on the library website: A-Z list and Subject list.

Patrons are expected to use the terminals in an appropriate and respectful manner. In the public forum of the library, no one should be inadvertently exposed to images that they find offensive. Displaying of sexually explicit images where others can see them may constitute sexual harassment according to the university policies. Library staff may intervene and direct users to cease this activity.
