Internet Use Policy Guidelines
As a member (Library 0643) of the Federal Depository Library Program
(FDLP), WSU Libraries offers the general public free access to online
federal government information provided through the FDLP.
Resources in the FDLP Electronic Collection are accessed by the
following guidelines:
- With the exception of limited access databases (STAT-USA, USA
TradeOnline, NTIS DARTS, and ehp Online), there are no restrictions
- Free and unrestricted searching of these resources is provided at
all library workstations with open access to the Internet
- No filtering software is used
- Security measures are consistent with FDLP guidelines and
requirements (these indicate that log-in/sign-up sheets and special
passwords may be required, and e-mail capability of the web browser may
be blocked)
- Use of library workstations is consistent with the library's
acceptable use policy

- Users may be charged "usual and customary" fees for printing. WSU
Libraries has a per copy print charge at all workstations. Portable
storage devices are available for loan but not purchase.
- Workstation use and product access is unmediated.
Assistance may be requested at reference desks.
