Checkout and Reservation Policy

(draft 9/22/05) - Use Guidelines
A. Tablet computers are for use by direct course work, course support work and research only. Personal use of the tablet computers for other purposes is not permitted.

B. Priority for use of the tablet computers is for course use by the following faculty who were listed on the Hewlett Packard grant.
*Pohl, Mantey, Mc Dowell, Elkiam, Whitehead and Obraczka*

The first priority is to fulfill HP grant priorities and after that utilization by Engineering faculty in support of innovative course instruction as available.

C. Generally all tablets are kept in the simularium in the lockable cart and used in the simularium for courses. One tablet is maintained by BELS staff to conduct timely installs of new images. Instructors using tablets in the simularium are responsible for ensuring all tablets are returned to the lockable cart, plugged into the rechargers and the cart doors are locked. The lockable cart is kept in the locked room in back of the simularium and is cable locked to a fixed point in the room (not to furniture).

D. Tablets may be checked out for use elsewhere a defined period of time. Tablets must be returned before the reservation ends even if no one else has a reservation for it. This is to ensure the tablet is still in possession and is working. Persons checking tablets out are responsible for their safe return to the BELS staff. Repairs for broken tablets or costs for replacing tablets will be recharged to the person checking out the tablet.

E. Prof Ira Pohl is the lead principal investigator in this grant. As such any disputes pertaining to checkout reservations will be mitigated by him.

F. Reservations for tablets must be done a minimum of 2 weeks in advance by sending a request to . BELS staff (Bob Vitale, David Meek and Christian Monnet) will evaluate the request using schedule posted here and use guidelines above. That current schedule of use is maintained on this twiki by the BELS staff and is shown below. If use does not conflict with other uses, checkouts or access to the tablets are done. If there are conflicts, the BELS staff will seek the guidance of Prof Pohl who will be the final authority in determining appropriate use.
