Due to the make up of t-shirt iron-ons and similar transfer kits, the Zach S. Henderson Library will not print any type of T-shirt transfers (that includes laser printer transfer kits). The Henderson Library does its best to provide printers that will provide fast printing on both black and white, as well as color for standard paper, resume paper, or standard card stock. We are also unable to print labels as well as other types of iron on transfers. Our printers receive maintenance on a regular basis and these types of paper cause a greater risk for jams and expensive maintenance problems. If you should have any questions regarding this policy please contact the Library Administration. Thank you for your cooperation.
Computer assistance (e.g. color printing, software and hardware assistance) will not be available between 12am and 8am or anytime the Learning Commons Help Desk is not staffed with trained Information Services student assistants, librarians, or the Systems Department personnel. IS Student Assistants are trained to provide basic assistance with the MS Office Suite, GALILEO, library catalog, scanning, and basic MAC operating system functions. Training is provided for faculty, staff, and students. Detailed information about library workshops can be found at http://library.georgiasouthern.edu/workshops.html. The overnight circulation staff is not trained to provide such assistance and anyone needing such assistance is requested to return to the Learning Commons Help Desk when that desk is staffed accordingly. Service hours can be found by going to http://gasouthernlearningcommons.pbworks.com/About-the-Learning-Commons.

Sometimes library computer users may view material from the Internet which may be considered offensive to others. If a library computer user finds him/herself is offended then (s)he may go to the nearest help desk and report the offense to the library employee on duty. Because the library employee in most instances cannot determine whether the offensive material is for academic purposes, the library employee cannot ask the viewer to cease unless the viewer is a minor or there is absolute certainty the viewing has no academic purpose. The library employee will ask the complainant if (s)he would like to move to another computer away from the viewer of the offensive material. If the complainant says “yes” then the library employee will assist that person by finding an available computer away from the offensive material being viewed. Otherwise, the viewer will be asked to relocate to another computer and (s)he will be assisted with moving to an available computer away from public view to ensure 1) no one is offended by the material and 2) the viewer can continue his/her academic work. If a library employee can determine with 100% certainty the offensive material being viewed is not for academic purposes then the library employee reserves the right to ask the viewer to cease. If the viewer refuses to cease then one or more actions may be taken:
- (s)he may be asked to leave the library with or without campus security
- (s)he may lose computer use privileges
- (s)he may appear before the University Judicial Board
- any other action deemed necessary by the Library Administration
