COMPUTERS AND AUDIO/VISUAL EQUIPMENT
Technology resources are supervised by the helpdesk manager, Shawn Soper. Digital video cameras are available for student use to complete course projects/assignments. To reserve any of this equipment for use in a classroom, you must contact Shawn as soon as you know you need the equipment. Use is on a first come, first served basis.
Computers are available for student use in labs, when class is not in session, and at all times in the student lab behind the vending area in the Fred Brown Center.
Information Technology Acceptable Use Policies
Information technology and resources include, but are not limited to: computers, software, databases, files, computer accounts, networks, Internet access, and electronic communication. The following are guidelines for acceptable use of information technology at Doane College.
- The use of information technology and resources is restricted to academic, educational, research, and/or administrative purposes. These resources may not be used for commercial, personal, political or business income purposes unless specifically authorized for such use.
- Any use of information technology or resources must not violate any U.S. or state laws or any software license and/or purchase agreements. Users of “outside” facilities such as libraries, Internet, or other electronic communication facilities, must also comply with the acceptable practices and restrictions established by those facilities.
- Individuals may not use institutional resources without proper authorization from the assigned user (custodian) of the resource. Individuals may not use another user’s computer account or user-ID or change another user’s password without prior permission from the custodian of the resource. Sharing of any computer accounts and/or access to resources assigned to the user is strongly discouraged.
- Each user of information technology is responsible for their use of computer hardware, software, accounts, user-ID’s and passwords even if they’ve granted permission to another person to use them. Information resources should only be used for their intended purpose; e.g., a class account must only be used to support the course for which it was created.
- Users must not access, copy, view, or change private files without authorization. Users may not change, create, or delete public files or directories without proper authorization. Users do not have the right to create or receive unauthorized copies of software. Users must not attempt to modify software, data, or systems in any unauthorized manner.
- Information technology and resources must not be used to make unauthorized entry into other communications, computational, or informational devices or resources. Accessing restricted databases requires prior authorization.
- Users must not misuse or abuse any information resources. Information technology and resources must not be used to disrupt or interfere with other users, services or equipment. This includes, but is not limited to, threatening or harassing others, propagation of viruses or worms, posting or mailing of obscene materials, distribution of unsolicited advertising, or random mailing of messages.
- No equipment, supplies, software or manuals may be removed from computing sites without proper authorization.
Violations of Doane’s acceptable use policy are subject to action by the college and may be referred to the appropriate authorities. Violators may be billed for unethical or illegal use of information technology and may be dismissed, suspended, expelled, and/or legally prosecuted.
An in-depth policy for users and specific technology information is available online.
