Bristol Public Library

The Bristol Public Library offers access to information resources on the Internet via the Ohio Public Library Information Network (OPLIN). Internet access is one component of the library's mission to provide free access to resources which will meet the informational needs of its patrons. The Internet is a worldwide computer network which provides a... ccess to vast sources of information. Not all Internet sources provide accurate, complete, or current information, and some may be objectionable. Most of the information available is not generated by the Bristol Public Library or OPLIN. Users may not always be able to access the sites selected due to restrictions or changes in the host computer or technological problems. The Bristol Public Library is not liable if access is not available all of the time. The library does not monitor and has no control over the information accessed through the Internet, and is not responsible for its content. Users are responsible for determining that the information they access is acceptable, reliable, and suitable to their needs. The library maintains lists of search sites and databases. Library staff are available to provide assistance with library search software, help identify appropriate sites, and locate the information needed by the user, as time permits. As with all library materials, any restriction of a child's access to the Internet is the sole responsibility of the parents or legal guardian. Library staff can not control the databases that children may select on the Internet. Acceptable use is searching for information for business, educational or recreational purposes and sending or receiving e-mail.Read More
