Playing games or visiting chat rooms

We’d like all our patrons to have the opportunity to enjoy the many benefits of the MCCL. It is for this reason that the use of chat rooms and the playing of games on and off-line should be avoided.

Installing Software

The Software available for use in the lab can be found using the Novell Application Launcher (NAL). Occasionally, patrons, like you may have applications, which require installation on the computers to run. In such a case, please see the lab consultant to find out if the software is useable on the computers and to help install the software. We discourage unapproved installation of software. We also prohibit the use of illegal software on the computers in the lab. When a Software problem occurs, please see the lab consultant for help. Do not reboot the computer, as this may cause immediate problems when restarting windows.
