Appropriate Use of Yale Library Web Server Userids, Accounts, and File Space

Yale Library staff members who have responsibility for creating or maintaining Yale Library web pages are assigned personal userids, accounts, and file space on the Yale Library web server (lsounix1.library.yale.edu). Staff members with such responsibility may publish appropriate professional, work-related, and personal information in the Yale Library web server directory that has been assigned to them (/home/userid).

Information published on the Yale Library web server in these personally assigned directories must conform to the following:

  1. Information published in these personally assigned directories may not be in conflict with the mission and goals of Yale University and Yale University Library.
  2. Information published in these personally assigned directories may not be in conflict with the regulations in the Yale University ITS Policy Documents.
  3. Intellectual property rights including, in particular, copyright laws as they apply to software and electronic forms of information must be observed. For particulars, see the Yale University WWW Copyright Policy.
  4. The Yale Library web server is not to be used for hosting a third party, for the benefit of third parties, for advertising, or for other commercial activities without authorization from Yale University Library.
Each staff member assigned a Yale Library web server userid and account is responsible for the use or misuse of that userid and account. Information published within a personally assigned directory is the responsibility of the staff member. If the account is found to have violated Yale Library or University policy, the staff member may be subject to Library, University, and/or legal sanctions. Yale Library does not review or approve any information published in personally assigned directories.

Web pages created for Yale Library or its units must reside in the production directory (/usr/web/) or appropriate sub-directories of the Library web server. See Appropriate Use of Space on the Library Web Server for more details on using home and production directories of the Yale Library web server.
