ARC Cubicle Launch, February 4, 2013

• Two major space topics
  1. user offices and cubicles in CEBAF Center, etc.
  2. user cubicles in the Library at the ARC
• for this meeting, prefer to deal with the latter
• History of the ARC cubicles
  • Library reconfiguration started in May 2011
  • main purpose: create more user space
  • cubicles installed
  • computers proposed October 2012
  • computers installed in two cubicles (before December)
  • cubicles offered by new arrivals at the Lab through Lorelei (user liaison)
  • existence of cublicles reported in Hall meetings by Sebastian (others?)
  • takers: few or none(?)
  • recent obstacle to full roll-out: lack of software
• Fish or cut bait?
  1. Go forward with promoting use of the space
     • we haven't made a "best effort" at promotion
     • space is kinda nice
     • leverage the investment in time and money
  2. Abandon idea: declare the effort a failure and return the space to the library
     • obviously not a popular choice for users; they know about the space and don't want it
     • software to support effort has not been deployed anyway
