Daniel,
Our Faculty Development Lab (FDL) is open 24 hours to those language
faculty who 1. agree to an orientation 2. have a relevant project that
requires use of the equipment 3. register to have their ID cards activated
as a key so they can 'swipe' themselves into the room, which is
card-accessed only. (Yes, that's an expensive security system). More
information on our FDL can be found at http://www.cls.yale.edu [click on
Facilities, then "more information about the FDL"].
We're currently revamping our Web site, so it still advertises our old
staffed FDL hours. We no longer staff the lab because it is easily
accessible to our technicians if faculty need help with anything. We do ask
faculty to make appointments for anything but the smallest questions. To
see our how-to sheets and FDL usage policy, go
to  http://www.cls.yale.edu/documentation.

>We are in the process of remodeling our labs and converting one of the lab
>spaces into a new faculty multimedia development lab.  This lab will be
>restricted to authorized faculty users and approved students of authorized
>faculty.  Do any of you with a similar lab have a user policy document
>already in place that we could look at?  What criteria do you use in
>determining who is authorized to use the lab?  Do you have a proficiency
>test that potential users must pass to demonstrate that they know how to use
>the hardware and software?  If so, could you share that test with us?  Do
>you provide tutorial manuals on the software?  Since this will be a
>restricted lab, what policies do you have regarding access to the lab?   We
>do not have the budget to hire new staff to assist faculty with their
>projects so faculty must already have the knowledge and skills to use the
>equipment and software or take the time to learn the software on their own.
>Any guidance in developing our user policies would be greatly appreciated.
