When you make your first reservation for one of the BIU Imaging Workstations, you will be automatically added to the Imaging Workstation users mailing list. Please read those e-mails to know what is going on!
When you want to use an imaging workstation, please make a reservation in the online reservation system (Scheduler) and mark in the Event field which software you are going to use. This will let BIU follow which software is being used and which is not.
