Guidelines for Using Classroom 4037

The room
You may need to sign out the key from the Administrative Office secretary (south side) right before the class. Return key to the secretary afterwards.

If you bring in extra chairs, move them out of the room after class. Pick up all papers, pencils, etc. When you finish, make sure that all workstations (including monitors), projection system, and lights are turned off and door is locked. (Exit all Windows then use the "shut down" method rather than just turning off the computers). Please also turn off monitors when they go into “shut down” mode.)

Please lock the room any time you are not in it, even if you and your class are just taking a five-minute break. You may be responsible if someone takes or damages some equipment during your reserved hour(s).

NOTE THE TWO SIDE-BY-SIDE DOORS: Only the right door locks by key. Most people don’t bother to unlock the left door unless they want to move something large into or out of the room. If you do want to unlock it, notice the lever near the top on the inside edge of the left door. If you do unlock the left door be sure to re-lock it using that lever. If you do not re-lock the door on the left, people can get into the room without a key simply by pulling on the door handle.

Equipment

To disconnect any hardware or connect any additional hardware, please contact LIT for help. That will prevent damage to the computers, cables, etc. (319) 384-4778 or lib-it-help@list.uiowa.edu

Projection equipment

When using the ceiling projector, NEVER use the on/off button on the side of the remote control. ONLY use the on/off button on the top of the remote.

When you turn the ceiling projector off, a message will appear on the projection screen (not on the computer screen) asking if you really want to turn it off. To indicate "yes," just press the off button a second time.

Lights

There are three light switches near the instructor’s station. The two round switches control the lights that can be dimmed. Press the round switches to turn those lights on and off.

White Board

There's a white board on the west wall. Please use only the markers specially created for white boards. Do NOT use a magic marker. The markers are on the tray at the bottom edge of the white board. Gary says that when in need of more dry-erase markers people can just notify Pat Hogan but to make sure they specify that the markers are for the dry-erase board.

Please erase the white board after your class has ended. There is an eraser on the table by the door.

Equipment Problems
Report any equipment problems to LIT (4-4778 or lib-it-help@list.uiowa.edu ) Report a burned out projector bulb to LIT. LIT will contact the person on campus who replaces projector bulbs and LIT can also bring up a portable projector that you can use until the bulb is replaced. Please let Kathy Magarrell (kathy-magarrell@uiowa.edu) know that an equipment report was made.
