Student Rights
The library provides a forum for information, exchange of ideas and endorses the principle of intellectual freedom. All students are offered equal access to facilities, resources, services, and support. The library is a safe place for study, work and relaxation. The librarians are very welcoming, supportive and ready to facilitate the above.

Computer Access:
Open access computers are available for use by currently enrolled students of ACT, Anatolia College and the International Baccalaureate School, alumni of ACT and Anatolia College, current faculty and staff of ACT/Anatolia College/Anatolia Elementary School, and public members.
Off-campus access to subscription databases is a privilege, not a right. ACT takes seriously its legal responsibility to comply with licenses and current copyright law, therefore remote access is tracked.
Priority is given to academic work, searching the Library Catalog or Anatolia Libraries subscription databases.
Inappropriate use includes:
Any user found violating the provisions of this policy will be reported to the Library Administration. Access to the ACT computer network may be denied by disabling the user’s account for a period of time depending on the severity of the violation.
