Policy Statement
Computers are provided in the Ruth Lilly Medical Library (RLML) for the purpose of accessing RLML information resources. All users must follow Indiana University’s Appropriate Use of Information Technology Resources policy. https://policies.iu.edu/policies/it-01-appropriate-use-it-resources/index.html
Reason for Policy
The computer use policy is in place to ensure sufficient workstations are available at the Ruth Lilly Medical Library for the use of IU School of Medicine faculty, staff, residents, fellows, and students while extending the courtesy of guest login access to Indiana health professionals.
Procedures
- Non-IU health professionals may use RLML’s computers with a guest log-in account. Guest log-in accounts may be obtained at the circulation desk with a photo I.D. and are valid for 1 day.
- Due to the limited number of computers available at RLML, IU School of Medicine faculty, staff and students receive priority over guest users.
Sanctions
