Computers
The computers can be booked for periods of up to 1 hour at a time. However preference
will be given to patients, their families, whanau, caregivers and staff, should they be waiting to access a computer.
Library staff may request a user vacate a computer to facilitate this.
Printing and photocopying facilities are available for a small donation.
Internet Use
The ABC Library offers Internet access in good faith, believing that
it can provide useful, reliable and enriching information. We can help
you evaluate the information you find. Please ask a member of the Library
Staff for assistance.
Unlike most resources within the ABC Library, the Internet is an interactive
medium that is being changed continuously.
Information on the Internet may be inaccurate, illegal or considered
controversial by some users. The ABC Library is not responsible for
changes that may occur in the sites.
Web sites visited will:
- reflect the philosophy of the Allan Bean Centre’s
role in the area of rehabilitation
- provide access to resources that will support the needs
and interests of library users
- cover as broad a range of interests as possible
The ABC Library reserves the right to prevent access to offensive material.
For reasons of security you cannot:
- install or download software
- view or download pornographic or offensive material
- send or forward abusive, offensive or objectionable emails.
- use Internet chat rooms without specific permission from the ABC Library staff.
