The next highest priority is as an open lab for public computing, especially during the high volume use times between 10 am – 3 pm during the academic year. Other uses may be considered for approval if they do not conflict with the other intended uses. During reserved times, technical support is limited to basic troubleshooting as available. Special software needs at least 2 weeks notice for installation and testing.

Librarians from other units may reserve our classrooms for course-related instruction (the only exception would be if they need the classroom for an entire semester and they have classrooms available in their own buildings). Librarians can work with 201 to reserve 106g Olin, and with Devin to reserve Uris.
