Introduction:
The computing resources at Daniel Webster College support the instructional, research, and administrative activities of the College. Examples of these computing resources include, but are not limited to, the central computing facilities, the campus-wide network, local-area networks, electronic mail, access to the Internet, voice mail, departmental and public computing facilities and related services. Users of these services and facilities have access to valuable college resources, to sensitive data and to external networks. Consequently, it is important for all users to behave in a responsible, ethical and legal manner. In general, appropriate use means respecting the rights of other computer users, the integrity of the physical facilities and all pertinent license and contractual agreements. This document establishes more specific guidelines for the use of all college computing resources.
These guidelines apply to all users of computing resources owned or managed by Daniel Webster College, including but not limited to Daniel Webster faculty and visiting faculty, staff, students, guests of the administration, external individuals or organizations and individuals accessing external network services, such as the Internet, via Daniel Webster's computing facilities.
The policies described in this document apply to all computing systems owned or managed by Daniel Webster College. Individual departments may have additional policies regarding computing equipment held in those departments. Contact the Director of
Information Services (Heidi Crowell), the
Assistant Director (Joe Donovan ).
The College has established specific procedures to be followed when abuse of computing resources has allegedly occurred. These procedures are defined in Appendix A. Questions regarding policy or the interpretation of policy should be directed to the Director of Computer Services. Special problems or needs should be directed to the Director of Computer Services or the Computing Systems Administrators.
