Computer Use by Bates Students, Faculty, and Staff Computers are available for use by Bates students, faculty, and staff. If a computer is needed for academic research and none is available, patrons using computers for non-research purposes may be asked to relinquish the computer. Other Patrons Computers in the reference area are designed for library research and are available to all library patrons to use electronic information such as the Bates catalog, periodical indexes, government information, and other electronic collections. Some databases are licensed only for use by Bates students, faculty and staff, and are not available to the public. Bates College does not provide word processing, printing, Internet searching or other general computing services to the public, and refers users to one of the growing number of local firms and public libraries that provide such services.
