The Library & Learning Resources regulations have been updated.
Section 6 of the regulations (“The Use of Information Systems (Computing Facilities)“) now refers users to the University’s ICT polices page, matching what is in the main University Regulations. There are no longer separate regulations governing the use of ICT facilities in the GCW University Library and Learning Resource Centres.
These regulations apply to all materials, facilities and services supplied at or from the GCW University Library and Learning Resource Centres and to all students using Library & Learning Resources materials, facilities and services.
You can read the Library & LR regulations on the University Portal.
