Three of the library's computers are located in a circle adjacent to the front entrance and may be used by any patron of the library, as explained below:

• Barton students, faculty, and staff may use their campus network logins to access these computers.
• Other users already identified through registration (as alumni, Friends of Hackney Library, and international baccalaureate students) must present their cards to be logged on by reference staff. Alumni and IB students are allotted one hour per day of computer access. Friends of Hackney Library members are allotted two hours per day of computer access.
• Users without library registration must present a valid picture ID and register on a list at the reference desk with their name, address, time, and date logged on the computer. (This registration information is kept confidential, although it is subject to the United States Patriot Act.) These users are allotted one hour per day of computer access.
• Users under the age of 18 searching Internet sites other than through the library web page are asked to be in the company of their parent or guardian.

Black and White Printing charges from these computers are .10 cents per page (except for students, whose charges are deducted from their semester's print quota--100 free sheets of paper per semester.)
• Printouts from these computers must be picked up at the circulation desk.
• Students must show their ID upon pick-up.

Please note that if you send a print job to the color printer, regardless of whether it is black/white or color, it will still cost .25 cents per page.
