Instructors can reserve the multimedia station during Parlin 104a open hours for up to three hours per day. Reservations will expire after ten minutes of non-use if a second party wants to use the multimedia station, unless the proctor is informed that reservation holders will soon arrive or return. Instructors may not reserve the station for scholarly or personal use, only for use by, with, or for their students. However, if the station is free, they can drop in during open hours to use it for these purposes. Students who drop in without a reservation must ask the proctor to make a reservation for them. Instructor and proctor reservations will take priority over instructors using the station without a reservation.

NB: it is the responsibility of the instructor, not of the proctor, to introduce students to the basic operations of the multimedia station--including how to log in.
