Wireless Policy

The Gleason Public Library provides wireless access for public Internet use. All individuals utilizing the wireless system should act in accordance with the Gleason Public Library Internet Use Policy.

Library patrons are cautioned that the Library is a public area, which must be shared by Library users of all ages, backgrounds, and sensibilities. Individuals are asked to consider this and to respect others when accessing information and images.

Wireless network users will not be able to use FTP (file transfer protocol), file share, or outgoing SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol) on the wireless network. At this time, any printing must be done via a terminal connected to the network.

Library patrons may not use the library’s wireless network to transmit or receive illegal (including harmful or obscene) or disruptive material. Library patrons are expected to respect intellectual property rights by making only authorized copies of copyrighted or licensed software or data residing on the Internet.

Violation of the Library's Wireless Policy or abuse of networking equipment may result in the denial of access to the wireless network in the Gleason Public Library.

Library staff is currently not equipped to assist patrons using the wireless network. The wireless network is compatible with a, b, or g wireless cards. Many new devices come with built in wireless devices. Please consult the reference librarian for information on available computer classes.

WARNING: The Library is not liable for the consequences of wireless network use in any way, including the transmission of computer viruses, loss of data or e-mail, security breeches of personal/private information, or any harm resulting from the use of an unsecured server.
