Access to Federal Government information, in any format, provided through the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP) is free to the students, faculty, staff, and the general public in accordance to Section 1911 of Title 44, United States Code.
Patrons must adhere to the Brown-Daniel Library computer use policy as stated in the Library Policies and Procedures for Computer Use. Anyone may have access to a computer terminal to view government information through the FDLP Electronic Collection (internet, CD-ROM, electronic format, GPO Access and subscription databases such as, Marcive Web DOCS Express, Lexis Nexis, STAT-USA/USA Trade Online).
Access includes telnet and ftp capabilities for downloading and/or transmission of electronic data. Fax and email delivery of government information to distant users are available upon request.
Access to the collection is available during all operational hours that the library is open. Reference assistance is available during all hours that the reference staff is on duty.
Special passwords are necessary to access library computers, however, the reference staff will make available a computer terminal for those patrons who want to access government information but have no password.
Library subscription databases are available to the general public during all hours that the library is open. Use of subscription databases when the library is closed is limited by the licensing agreements for such subscriptions.
Access to STAT-USA/USA Trade online is limited to two workstations in the reference department in the main campus library by password only, in which case, a reference staff person must log the patron in.
Printouts are available at no charge. There is a small fee of $.10 cents per page for photocopies. If the library is unable to provide adequate access to and technical support of tangible electronic products, circulation of that product will be allowed in accordance to the reference department policies of circulation of reference and government document materials. All attempts will be made to obtain the necessary hardware, that meets the latest “Recommended Specifications for Public Access Workstations in Federal Depository Libraries” as published annually in Administrative Notes, to run and operate an electronic product.
