We are running PPMS from stratocore as a booking system, the policies are presented as documents to the users once before they can book a microscope and are available for reference later. The system records who has agreed to the policies and the facility manager can present new documents to the user at any time. We also have a separate mailing list for all users and PIs and can email all users of a certain microscope through the booking system. But the most effective way is to speak to the user directly...
