The following procedures govern the use of community access workstations in the Library by visitors:

1. Subject to availability. Access is limited to one use of up to 2 hours per day. Wait times will vary, depending on the number of visitors in line to use the community access workstations. Visitor terminals log off automatically after 2 hours – please save your work. NOTE: Printing is not available.
2. Appropriate use of library computers is that which is consistent with the academic, research, and service goals of the institution. The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) provides the guiding principles for use of Information Technology (IT) Resources at Georgia Tech. Failure to comply with these will result in the termination of library and computer access privileges.

Visitors may request to view only Georgia Tech books. If a visitor would like to view a book that belongs to Emory or another University System of Georgia school, they will need to contact that school's library. Visitors do not have borrowing privileges.
