Mission Statement
The CPCC Libraries provide internet access to CPCC students, faculty, and staff in support of the Library's Mission to provide "access to area, regional, national, and international information resources."
The information and resources available on the Internet expand the Library's information services beyond traditional collections and electronic resources. Users have access to a wide variety of information via the Internet. Not all Internet sources provide accurate, complete or current information, and some may be offensive. The Library cannot monitor or control the information accessed over the Internet and is not responsible for its content. Users are responsible for determining that the information they access is acceptable, reliable, suitable to their needs and complies with the policies and the guidelines established in this document. Internet access is a privilege, not a right, and as such can be withdrawn from those who use it irresponsibly.
Users
The Internet Lab on the Central Campus (LR 205) may be used by current CPCC students, faculty, and staff.
Any adult patron (at least 16 years old) who shows a picture id may also use the central campus internet lab.
No children are allowed in the lab.
