Training Requirements
Similar to the Olin Shop, all major equipment requires one-time area-use training regardless of experience level.
Using equipment without completing the required training violates Library policy and the Honor Code.
Training signups are announced by the 4th week of each semester via email and posted on library.olin.edu. Trainings are led by highly-skilled student workers who need time to figure out their availability based on their academic commitments.
Training is required for all users, and can be tailored to skill level. We encourage all community members to sign up for any equipment training, including faculty and staff.
Training required for:
- Workroom equipment (screen printing, vinyl cutting, etching press)
- Sewing machines and sergers
- Sound Studio equipment
- High-end cameras and A/V equipment
