We have circulated laptops to staff for the past two years with few problems. Fortunately, none of these computers have been damaged or lost. We have been reluctant to circulate them to students for those reasons. I have included portions of our student policy on computer use in our Media Center. I suggest that a policy should make some disclaimer regarding lost data and files. James Perkins, Media Specialist Urbandale Middle School Media Center Urbandale, IA ******** Media Center Computer Policy Goal: Provide consistent, equitable and reliable Macintosh computer and printer access for Media Center patrons. 1. Computers in this area are for staff and students. 2. Students must sign-in and out at the Circulation Desk top use Macintosh computers. 3. When finished, quit the application and leave the computer on. 4. Use the printers to make single copies only--use photocopiers to make multiple copies. 5. No software should be installed on Media Center computers without consulting Media Center staff. Unauthorized software will be trashed. 6. All data files will be deleted at the end of each month. All users are encouraged to save all work to diskettes, which may be purchased at the Circulation Desk. 7. The Media Center will not be responsible for lost/damaged files. 8. This equipment is not to be moved without Media Center authorization. 9. Any problems should be reported to Media Center staff immediately. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Sent via ExpressNet/SMTP(tm), Urbandale Community Schools.
