1.  The LCSC Information Commons Classroom, ICC, will be scheduled only for activities
 identified as appropriate to its use

2.  Generally, only LCSC faculty and staff may reserve the ICC at this time.   Inquiries from
 outside the college may be honored as special requests and if there is no conflict of scheduling
 with college events may be considered.  These off-campus requests will be routed for approval
 through Julie Crea, Director of Events and Campus Card Services at 208.792.2333 or
 jcrea@lcsc.edu

3.  Information about scheduling the use of the ICC or any LCSC computer lab can be found
 on the LCSC Events Scheduling page at www.lcsc.edu/ecc/events.htm.

4.  Cancellations for reservations must be made at least 72 hours in advance.  Failure to observe
 the deadline will result in room rental charges.

5.  The ICC will only be available during hours that the Library is regularly open.  This policy is
 required to maintain Library and building security and to avoid overtime and additional staffing
 costs to operate the center.  Any special requests for schedules outside regular library hours will
 incur costs for personnel to facilitate such use.  These requests will be routed to Julie Crea,
 Director of Events and Campus Card Services at 208.792.2333 or jcrea@lcsc.edu.

6.  Facility charges:  Charges for use of the Information Commons Classroom can be found under
 Facility Rental Rates on the LCSC Campus Events Scheduling page. 

7.  The ICC is scheduled on a first come, first serve basis.

8.  Confirmation of approval will include notice of reasonable use standards, namely:

a. Users will clear all tables, counters and the room generally of materials and/or trash at
 the end of a session.

b. Faculty and/or staff using the facility will ensure that students or guests have left the
 ICC, and report completion of use to the Library Circulation Desk.

c. Computers should be turned off, at the completion of the activity.

d. All equipment used during a session should be returned to appropriate cabinets at the
 close of an instruction session.

 Users who do not comply with reasonable use rules will not be scheduled to use the facility again.
 

9.  Circulation staff will open the ICC prior to the first scheduled activity for the day.  The facility
 will remain open until the last activity or class scheduled for the Center is complete.  Circulation
 staff will then lock the Center.  During the day, Circulation staff will police the room periodically,
 making sure that computers are turned off, trash or materials are cleared from the room or
 disposed of, and that chairs and equipment is generally straightened.  If the room is found to be
 left with disregard to published use standards contact Julie Crea, Director of Events and Campus
 Card Services at 208.792.2333 or jcrea@lcsc.edu.

10. Reference and other library staff are not available for training on the use of ICC technology. 
 If the person using the facility requires orientation or training on equipment in the room, he/she
 should contact Bob Hopkins from the LCSC Information Technology Department at
 bhopkins@lcsc.edu for appropriate orientation.

11. Library Circulation staff will provide room access as necessary.  A schedule of approved use
 will be maintained in the Circulation area and at Reference.  Public Access librarians will monitor
 use informally to insure reasonable standards and proper use of the facility.  Discrepancies
 should be referred to Julie Crea, Director of Events and Campus Card Services at 208.792.2333
 or jcrea@lcsc.edu.

12. Cabinets providing access to video players and sound equipment will be left unlocked.  All
 other equipment in the ICC will be kept in locked cabinets to the right of the SmartBoard
 screen. Users who need access to additional equipment must identify those needs in their request
 to use the facility.  Access to special equipment will be set up by the Director of the Library
 through the Circulation Department. 
 

13. Food and/or drinks may be allowed in the ICC in accordance with the policy about food and
 beverages in the rest of the Library.  However, users will be reminded that drinks should not be
 placed in proximity to computers, especially keyboards and processors.  Set-ups for luncheons
or coffee breaks and snacks are not allowed in the ICC.  

14. The ICC is not generally available as a location for students to practice presentations unless
 that practice is connected with a class conducted in the facility and is under the general
 supervision of an instructor.
