Basic Social Conventions
Noise
The RAD Lab has a *quiet space* culture
Be considerate of noise levels in cubicle area.
Keep discussion quiet and research-related.
Take extended conversations and phone calls to a meeting room.
If you are being bothered, ask the people to 'get a room' as opposed to leaving.
Meeting Rooms
Kitchen
Books/Shelves
Books in meeting rooms are nearly all personal property, usually of faculty, and are so labeled while those in shelves by cubicles belong to those in those cubicles.
Honor any posted borrowing policy.
If there is no borrowing policy posted, obtain permission before taking a book from a shelf.
Return all books once you are done - do *not* leave them sitting unused on your desk for days or weeks.
Borrowed books should remain in the RAD Lab outside of arrangements with the book's owner.
If you are borrowing a particular book on a regular basis, consider ordering a personal copy.
Visitors and Guests
Those in the RAD Lab are responsible for any guests or visitors they bring into the RAD Lab
Meeting room use by visitors and guests should be limited to meetings with someone in the RAD Lab.
Do not let unknown persons into the RAD Lab unattended after hours (when the door is closed).
If an unknown person or persons ask to be let in to meet someone in the RAD Lab, have them wait in the small room by the front door while checking to see if that person is around in the RAD Lab.
Remember that beverages and refreshments, printers, and other consumables are paid for by the RAD Lab (your faculty).
