Tips for using library computers

  • Save your work often to an external storage device, such as a USB flash drive. Computer software removes all internally stored data after 30 minutes of inactivity.
  • Don’t leave your property unattended while using computers.
  • Sign out of both the computer and the print station when you are done.
