- Policy Statement: The Information Commons Area of the library maintains laptops for student use within the library.
- Rationale: Students need to have internet access throughout the library. Laptops are used to augment the supply of desktop computers already installed. In addition, laptops afford students the flexibility of being able to use a computer anywhere in the building.

- The standard KU computer lab image is installed on all laptops.
- All laptops also include the program Deep Freeze which returns the computer to the original image every time the computer is booted. Any files stored by students on the hard drive are erased each time the computer boots up.
- Procedures:
- Laptops borrowed from the Information Commons Area cannot leave the building.
- Students must present a KU ID or KU Library card to borrow a laptop
- Laptops are for student use only unless a non-student user has special permission from the Director.
- Students borrowing laptops receive three items: a laptop, a power cord, and an internet cable.
- Students are responsible for any damage incurred to the laptop while it is charged to them.

Computer Policies and Procedures
Library computers are intended for Kutztown University students, faculty, staff and visitors to engage in study and research and to participate in authorized on-campus activities. Children under the age of 18 who are not KU students must be accompanied by an adult. Adults need to be aware that Internet sites are not blocked since the intended use is for research and academic purposes. Unsupervised use could result in access to information or images that parents may find inappropriate for their children.
The library maintains numerous computers distributed throughout the library. The library's computer policy is below.
