[labnetwork] Accepting new tools to a shared facility

Wed May 1 10:05:33 EDT 2013

We have a similar policy as Cornell, but professors can limit what goes into the tool.  If it goes into our multi-user cleanroom then the tool is open for all users.

Cheers!

At Cornell, our agreement is even simpler. They have to give it to us, outright, no strings attached. We own it, we train on it, we take care of it, we charge for it. Co-ownership does not work in our opinion

Hi Rob,

Our criteria is very simple: They have to share it. They can set the ground rules regarding what materials/processes are acceptable, but if others want to use it for those allowed purposes, they must be given permission to do so. We also allow them to have their students do the training (and/or maintenance) on the tool if they choose, but they usually prefer to let our technical staff to do that.

Dear All,

Do any of you have criteria or some sort of written agreement that you execute when a faculty member asks to have a tool of theirs taken under your shared facility?s umbrella? If so could you share it?

Thanks,
Rob
