2. Any use of this service for unlawful purposes is prohibited.

3. Copying commercial software is in violation of copyright law.

4. Using this service to harass other users or to interfere with their work is prohibited.

8. Any user’s traffic that crosses another network may be subject to that network’s Acceptable Use Policy.

Please be aware that with access to computers all over the world also comes the availability of material that may be considered ‘inappropriate” for some users. Parents who are concerned about their children’s use of electronic resources should provide guidance to their own children.

We firmly believe that the valuable information and interaction available on this worldwide network far outweighs the possibility that users may procure information that is not consistent with the education and research goals of this project.

  1. Remove the account of any user who does not follow the Acceptable Use Policy.
  2. Remove any account which has not been used in six months.
  3. Remove the account of any user who does not remain in good standing in his/her home library.
  4. Notify any user that he/she is using a disproportionate share of the disk space and that he/she needs to download/delete files.
  5. Delete files from any user’s account if that user, once notified, has not cleaned his/her directory within one week.
