Labmembers
may reserve equipment for which they are qualified to use up to one
week in advance on Coral (some high-demand tools have additional restrictions,
as listed below). Here are guidelines for equipment reservation etiquette:
-
Be
judicious in the amount of time you reserve (avoid reserving large
blocks of time which you are not likely to need.)
-
Remove
any reservation that you will not be able to use, as soon as you realize
you do not need it (on high-demand tools, it is courteous to notify
other users of a reservation cancellation using the "equipment_name@snf.stanford.edu"
mailing list alias.)
-
There
is a grace period of 15 minutes, after which someone who does not
show up may lose his/her reservation and the machine is free for any
other qualified person to use.
-
In
research, problems happen. Someone may exceed his/her time allotment;
someone else may be late in getting to his or her reservation. Make
every attempt to communicate your needs and respect those of others;
work out differences in a professional, courteous manner.
-
Certain
high-demand tools have additional reservation restrictions (as described
below).

a single reservation ("prime time" is 8am-6pm, Mon-Fri);

Where feasible, we ask that everyone abide by
these guidelines. This helps to ensure more fair access to equipment for
all. However, we also understand that some research may require equipment
use outside of these guidelines; in these cases, we ask that you plan
in advance and work with the process staff person and each other to negotiate
fair use.
