Computer Use Policy

Library workstations are available to all Butler University students, faculty, staff, and emeriti. Patrons may log on using their Butler username/password. Members of the Butler community are allowed full access to all workstation resources. If you are a member of the Butler community and are unable to logon (e.g., username/password not working, new student, forgot your password, etc.) please go to the Reference Desk for assistance. For a courtesy logon you will be asked to provide an acceptable form of I.D. Please note that during busy times, members of the Butler community will receive preferential access to all library workstations.

Provisions which grant limited access have been established for students of PALNI schools. Please note that PALNI members will be required to show a valid form of identification before being logged on. Due to licensing agreements we cannot provide public access to library indexes and databases, lab software, or the Internet.
