Policies

Chatham Community Library Policies

The Chatham Community Library is a joint-use library between CCCC and Chatham County on the Chatham Campus in Pittsboro. A full list of their policies can be found on their Chatham Community Library website.

Children

College policy is that students are not to bring children to campus while attending classes, other activities, or while using the library. If a parent brings a child under age 16 into the college library for a brief visit (i.e. to return or to check out materials), then the child must be accompanied at all times by the parent. The parent must closely supervise the child to ensure that he/she does not disturb others. If the child is creating a disturbance, the parent will be asked to leave with the child. It is not permissible to bring children into the college library for extended periods of time while doing research, writing a paper, or studying.

Copyright

The college will comply with the copyright limitations set forth in federal legislation for protection of original works of authorship.

Library Computer Use Policy

Students must follow the Library Computer Use policy. This policy states that library computers are provided to conduct research and to communicate with others in support of the college’s educational mission. Students, faculty, staff, public patrons, and campus visitors are expected to use computer resources in an ethical, legal, and responsible manner. By logging on to library computers, users acknowledge that they are aware of and agree to the CCCC Internet Acceptable Use policy found in the student handbook. Any use of library computers that violates college policy, violates federal, state, or local laws, alters computer and/or network settings, promotes commercial activity, intends harm or distress to others, or is obscene or malicious in nature is prohibited. Computer access is a privilege, not a right. Violations may result in loss of access and/or disciplinary action.

Study Room Use

Study rooms are available for use in viewing audiovisual materials, for group collaborative study, or for individual study. Study rooms may be reserved in advance through an online room reservation system or by contacting library staff. Students should sign in at the circulation desk to use the study rooms. Study carrels are also available for quiet individual study on a first-come, first-served basis. CCCC students have first priority in using study rooms and carrels. Study rooms are not intended for use by classes.

Quiet

Please be courteous to your fellow students by turning cell phones to silent and taking conversations outside.
