Internet access on the computers of the NLCR for registered users and visitors with a one-day pass.

Internet access on library computers 

The NLCR offers registered users access to the Internet on selected computers in the reading rooms upon presentation of a valid library card.

Selected resources of the NLCR (e.g. National Digital Library) can also be used by visitors with a one-day pass.

Computers with internet access are intended primarily for searching the NLCR catalogues or for using licensed databases, digital libraries, and other electronic information resources.

Each of the reading rooms has set rules for computer use and internet access. Computers in the Reference Centre can be reserved through a reader account.

The staff of the NLCR does not provide instruction on the use of the free Internet (e.g. making financial transactions, placing advertisements), using graphic programs (such as photo editing and video editing), etc.  The use of banking and other applications with access to the user's financial and other accounts is at the user's own risk, and the NCLR is not responsible for any leakage or misuse of data from applications with access to the user's personal details and data.
