Safety and Security

Although UW Tacoma Library staff provide some general safety training, as well as training on the safe and proper use of specific equipment, the USER assumes responsibility to plan and perform work in such a way as to ensure their own personal safety as well as the safety of others in the Facility. As a condition of access, USER understands and agrees to abide by the following rules which are intended to protect all users of the space: All Posted and Online UW Tacoma Library Policies, Procedures, and Guidelines UW Tacoma Library Code of Conduct: https://www.tacoma.uw.edu/library/policies Student Conduct Code for the University of Washington: http://www.washington.edu/admin/rules/policies/WAC/478-121TOC.html UW IT Policies and Guidelines on Safe Computing: https://itconnect.uw.edu/security/security-and-privacy-policies/

Cost of use

The MakerSpace is free

Intellectual Property Rights

Use of the UW Tacoma Library Makerspace does not create any intellectual property obligations for the USER; in other words, no new “strings” are added by use of the facilities. Any existing Intellectual Property (“IP”) obligations that apply to what a USER brings into or creates in the Makerspace cannot be eliminated simply by use of the facilities. For example, IP obligations from an employment agreement or employer policy, whether that employer is UW or a private company, may apply to what a USER creates in the UW Tacoma Library Makerspace (or what that USER creates at home in their garage) if that creation is related to their work for that employer. Further detail for UW employees and students regarding existing general IP obligations to UW can be found in Executive Order 36 (https://www.washington.edu/admin/rules/policies/PO/EO36.html). For the sake of clarity, the use of the UW Tacoma Library Makerspace, the equipment, supplies, or staff support will not create any obligation for UW employees and students to report inventions or assign said inventions to the University.
