The electronic communications and facility of the Library are government property and by using these facilities, the user acknowledges consent to abide by these policies.
No communications or uses of the information systems resources are to be considered private or confidential and use of such systems may be monitored at any time.

All e‐mail, instant messaging or other communication composed, transmitted, or received via the Library's computers is considered to be part of the official records of the Library. As such, the information may be subject to disclosure to public records requests or law enforcement agencies should circumstances arise that require such action.
