The library has nine public use computers. Four are
located in the adult section of the library, four are
located in the children's section and the ninth is located in the
meeting room. Each computer provides public access
to the Internet. In order to share our resources fairly, patrons are
limited to a 30 minute session if other patrons are waiting to access a
computer. Users must sign-in to use the computers.
In addition to Internet access, the four computers in
the children's section have Microsoft Word 2000 and Corel Word Perfect
2002 installed for word processing. The five adult computers have the
Microsoft Office Suite 2000, Word, Excel, Access, Power Point, and
Publisher, and Corel Word Perfect 2002 installed.
The library subscribes to to the following Internet
magazine databases: Ebsco, Infotrac, Informe (Spanish language),
NoveList, Jersey Clicks and a newspaper index. All public computers have links to each
of these databases from the desktop and the "Databases" page
on the library Web Site.
All the computers are networked to print at one central
location. BEFORE PRINTING patrons must pay 10¢ per printed
page. Patrons are asked to press the print button only once and
collect their documents at the circulation desk. If there is any
errors with the printing patrons are asked to consult library staff.
Discs for two multimedia encyclopedias are also
available: Grolier's and Microsoft Encarta. Please ask a librarian
to direct you to the proper computers to use these resources. |
