Equipment Reservations
HiDEC processing and laboratory tools are reserved using a SharePoint calendar. If you have attended a HiDEC safety (“Right-to-know”) session, then you should already have access to the SharePoint site. If you are having issues with the site, please contact Errol Porter.
In regards to requesting a reservation, SharePoint reservations are put into the application by staff. I should caution you now, there will be a point that use of the facilities not already reserved the day before runs the risk of card access being revoked.
Here are the procedures to make a reservation on a tool:
- (HiDEC Cleanroom open) only available for use Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8am to 3pm. Other HiDEC facilities are Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm.
- (All HiDEC facilities) 24-hour advanced e-mail notice to be provided to all three staff members involved in scheduling: Karen Cannon (kcannon@uark.edu), Tom Cannon (tcannon@uark.edu), Gary Jeffery (gjeffery@uark.edu), and (Errol Porter (evporte@uark.edu).
- User to provide the day and the start and stop time of each piece of equipment to be used.
- User to confirm (on each reservation) the appropriate Worktag or company project code associated with the reservation.
- We would request you include both the PI/employer and the associated administrative assistant of the reservation.
A typical email request would go something like what you see below and staff will send a confirmation email indicating the reservation has been placed in SharePoint or if there is a conflict that would require a different time or day.
“I would like to reserve the following equipment:
Ushio 4150 punch (LTCC): 1:00pm to 2:00pm, Wed., August 18th
WorkTag: (GR019999)”
