Internet Policies and Procedures Using the Internet is a privilege. Misusing it will result in your not being allowed to access the Internet using library computers. The Internet is a vast network of interlinked computers containing large amounts of information on myriad subjects. Some of these subjects are based on adult content and should not be accessed. Students at Molina are placed on the honor system about following the acceptable use policy. Molina Media Center Acceptable Use of Computer and Networks Policy Internet usage in the Media Center during the school day must be related directly to educational topics. However, you may use the Internet before and after school to look for items of interest to you which are not in defiance of the acceptable use policy. Obscene, questionable, or derogatory Internet sites must not be visited. Visiting chat rooms and ordering online are not permitted. You may check your email before or after school ONLY. Materials directly related to research may be printed free of cost for the first ten pages and at a cost of 10¢ for additional pages. Materials for personal use cost 10¢ a page. Use Print Preview from the File menu to check to see the number of pages you will be printing. A page with just one word on it still counts as one of your ten free pages. Limit yourself to 20 minutes online if there are other students needing to use the computer. Downloading of programs or other materials is not permitted on library computers. Uploading of pictures from your cell phone or personal website is not permitted on library computers. Changes to the desktops of library computers are not permitted.
