Combination Access: Users
will be assigned a keycode and/or computer identification for their exclusive
use. A user’s access keycode or identification must not be “loaned” to
anyone else. Users may obtain access by filling out an application
and completing necessary training from Dr. Marc Anderson, Room 3025 Malott.
Access Responsibility: The
access system monitors date and time that the door is opened as well
as the identity of the user. Consequently anyone who opens the door is
then responsible for anyone who enters subsequently without entering a user
number. Thus users should ensure the door is closed after egress. Computer
access is granted via the departmental network ID and in accordance with
departmental IT policy. IIL computers are actively monitored and are
intended as instrument interfaces and should never be used for web or email
access. Server locations have been reserved for storage and transfer
of data files.
Instrumentation
Authorization: An integral part of the application process
requires that the users be “checked out” on any and all instruments
they intend to use by the Laboratory Director or a person authorized
by the Director to train others. If an instrument appears to be
malfunctioning, report this immediately to the Laboratory Director (4-3903,
rm.3025), and submit a problem report form through the IIL website. Users
should not try to correct problems unless they are thoroughly familiar
with the instrument function and maintenance, as they may be held responsible
for damage caused by improper corrective action.
User Fees: Users
must provide charge numbers so that proper billing can be achieved based
upon an hourly rate and triggered by instrument login. The hourly fee
is based upon cost of ownership and is intended to reduce maintenance costs
to the Chemistry Department. User fees may be mitigated by factors
such as user provided consumables, equipment donations, departmental subsidies,
and reciprocal arrangements.
Lab Safety: EHS and Chemistry Department safety policies (CHEM_SftyManual.pdf) must be adhered to at all time in the laboratory. EHS
policies can be found on the University of Kansas, Environmental, Health,
and Safety website (www.ehs.ku.edu/Files/Manuals/Lab_Safety/LSMPart12000.PDF)
and must be reviewed prior to using IIL facilities. Users are requested
to notify the IIL director in advance if an application calls for supplemental
waste containers, biological hazards, posted notifications, or if other safety
features are needed. Note also that the IIL is NOT an authorized animal
care facility. Animal surgeries, testing, and housing need to be performed
elsewhere.
Violations: Violation
of the IIL user policies may result in temporary or permanent suspension
of IIL access. In addition the user may be subject to disciplinary
action as defined in the acceptable use policies of the Electronic Informational
Resources and / or the Code of Students Rights.
