Is my public computer use tracked?

In general, no. The library does not log computer use nor Internet access and when a patron logs out of a public desktop computer and a new user logs in, all of the local data (browsing history, files, etc.) from the previous user is deleted.

However, interactions with other library systems such as printing may generate usage records. Each print job, including the document name, page count, and any associated charge, is recorded in our print management system for accounting purposes. (The actual document is stored temporarily in the print management release queue until the end of the day on which it was printed, as the print management system keeps printed documents in the queue to allow for a patron to reprint a document if the print failed after it was initially released to the printer.)
