UPDATED:
Going forward, the Birck Nanotechnology Center at Purdue is excited to start using an online
system to streamline the process of scheduling and billing for core services and equipment usage.
All facility users are invited to use the system, which requires a one-time registration as discussed below. Once you are
registered, the system will enable you to place service requests, provide required approvals, and
monitor progress.

2. You will log into the Kiosk interface using the same credentials you use to log into the main
iLab site for the core.
3. Once logged in, you will see a list of your pre scheduled reservations in “My kiosk sessions” (If
you have multiple sessions, there is a search box to help guide you to the correct one you wish
