Circulating CD-ROMs at the Gates Public Library

CIRCULATING CD-ROMs

CD-ROMs are an easy way for all ages to learn computer skills, as well as to explore a wide variety of subjects.

The CD-ROMs are divided into two collections. The children’s collection is marked with a “j” before the call number and is labeled with a pink teddy bear sticker in the upper left corner. These titles are directed toward children ages preschool through sixth grade. The CD-ROMs are hanging on the 3-tiered rack located behind the Kid’s Catalog terminals in the children’s section. The adult/young adult collection is located in the cubbyholes beneath the CD collection.

CIRCULATION POLICY

Loan Period: 2 weeks (non-renewable)

Limit:2 per card

Due to the small collection of titles, any simultaneous holds that arrive on the same card will be canceled and you will be notified of this when you come to pick up a CD-ROM.

Daily Overdue Fine: $2.00 (maximum: $12.00)

CD-ROMs are not available on ILL. May ONLY be held at, picked up at, and returned to Gates Public Library.

DAMAGED MATERIALS/MISSING PARTS

For your protection, we will check for all contents at check-out and return. For CD-ROMs, the full replacement price is listed on the pocket of each bag, and is charged for items damaged beyond repair or where an essential part is lost (i.e.: a User’s Guide). Replacement parts, such as the cd jewel case and the nylon bag, may be billed separately when they alone are damaged or missing. The Media Librarian establishes replacement prices for other damaged or missing CD-ROM parts.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

We have noted on each pocket what types of computers will work (i.e.: “MAC/WIN ME/XP means that it was designed for Macintosh, Windows ME and Windows XP). More detailed system requirements are usually included with the product’s text(s) and on the bibliographic record in the online catalog.

SEARCHES

Most CD-ROMs cam be located by adding “CD-ROM” to a word search. Gates items are identified in search results.

DISCLAIMER

Please read before using CD-ROMs.

Installing CD-ROMs on your computer may cause changes to your system.

The Gates Public Library is not responsible for system damage, malfunction, or the inconvenience which may be caused by any media you install or use from Gates Public Library. In addition, the library can not assist you with any computer CD-ROM problems.
