  2. To simplify tracking on NMR reservations, users are required to include their Lab Name<\/strong> in the \u201cYour Name and Lab Name\u201d<\/strong> field of the Add New Event\u00a0<\/em>pop up window of the Calendar.<\/li>\n
  3. If you need extra time than is allowed on any spectrometer (DayQ or NightQ)contact Paul Ralifo first to get approval.<\/li>\n

        \n
      1. Overnight Reservation rules will reset on each Monday and reservations can be made up to 7 days in advance. Overnight reservations are made by rotating through\u00a0each lab group- any one particular group cannot book more than one overnight per machine (SHARE!). If the Overnight time is still unreserved, by 5pm on that day, the\u00a0time can be reserved by any authorized user, even if he\/she has already used Overnight time that week.<\/li>\n
      2. Maximum time slots for each of the NMRs at particular times are listed above. Each research group can only reserve a maximum of two consecutive non-overnight time slots per spectrometer. For\u00a0example, a user can only reserve the 400 NMR on weekdays for a maximum of 30 mins between 8am and 6pm and the same group can make two consecutive reservations to a maximum of 60 mins for this\u00a0instrument. CONSECUTIVE TIME SLOTS CANNOT BE RESERVED BY THE SAME PERSON!<\/li>\n
      3. Every user must reserve time on the 400 MHz NMR before using the instrument. Any user that is caught using the 400 without reserving time may have their experiments aborted by users who have reserved the time on the Calendar.<\/li>\n
      4. Reserved time that is not needed should be canceled ASAP. If you cannot make your reserved time slot less than an hour in advance please email the\u00a0chem-nmrusers-list@bu.edu<\/a>\u00a0and let people know that\u00a0the time slot is available for use.<\/li>\n
      5. Parallel booking of more than one spectrometer is strictly prohibited.<\/li>\n
      6. Users who run experiments during time booked by someone else without that person\u2019s permission or, who reserve instruments under another user\u2019s name to sidestep the rules will be banned\u00a0from using the NMRs.<\/li>\n
      7. Users who run experiments during time booked by someone else without that person\u2019s permission or, who reserve instruments under another user\u2019s name to sidestep the rules will be banned\u00a0from using the NMRs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
