• Everyone has two hours per day to use the internet computers. You can log on as many times as you'd like; as soon as you reach two hours, however, you will no longer have access.
• Printing is $0.15 per black & white page (8.5"x11") and $0.35 for each color copy (8.5"x11"). The same is true for photocopies.
• Staff will attempt to assist with software or hardware problems but are not experts on all types of software or hardware. Patrons are ultimately responsible for their own use of the computers and can use print and online tutorials, plus books from the collection, to learn how to use the computers.
• Patrons access the computers using their own Appleton or OWLSnet Library cards or an Appleton non-borrowers ("internet only") Library card. Patrons may not use cards belonging to others.
• Patrons with fines/bills greater than or equal to $5 as well as any other delinquencies will not be allowed access. To resolve a delinquency, or for further information, please contact the Checkout desk.
• Area residents without Library cards will need to apply for a card.
• Short-term visitors from outside the area may be given a guest card, good for one day use. Guest cards are issued at the Reference Desk and require presentation of a valid ID.
• Patrons who have cards but did not bring them may be eligible for a one-time use exception by presenting valid ID.
• Staff will monitor use of the computers to see that patrons are following the Library's Internet Policy and Rules of Conduct posted in the area.

By using the WiFi service at the Library you agree that you are subject to the Library’s Internet Policy. Copies of the policy can be found at www.apl.org/about/policies.

How to Connect:
A laptop, PDA or other device with WiFi capability that supports the WiFi standard IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g may be used to access the network.  Your device should automatically detect a new connection.  If your SSID is set to Any, you will be able to connect.  If needed, the SSID is aplpublic.  No user names or passwords are required.  Wireless access points are located throughout the building, although signal strength may vary.

Please note: The Library expects patrons to be able to configure their own equipment to access the wireless network and cannot guarantee that you will be able to connect.  The Library is not responsible for any loss or damage to personal equipment.  WiFi is less secure than a wired network.  The Library does not offer any laptops or peripheral equipment (power strips, wireless network cards, cables, printers, etc) to the public.  Staff may require patrons who fail to comply with the Library’s Internet Policy to terminate their wireless session and leave the Library building.

The scanner computer is located along the north wall on the second floor behind the Reference Desk. The scanner computer differs from the rest of the internet computers in that it has Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard edition as well as a scanner.

Printing is 15¢/page (for black & white; 35¢/page for color) payable at the Reference Desk; you may put your own resume paper in the connected printer.
