The NMR Facility at the University of Ottawa is equipped with eight NMR spectrometers and has on the order of 100 hands-on users at the graduate and post-doctoral level. Like any university NMR facility, the users enter at varying knowledge and experience levels: from "What does NMR stand for?" to "How do I do a shearing transform for my 5QMAS data set?". Also, the attitudes of the user's supervisors varies considerably. Some supervisors want their students to spend as little time in the NMR lab as possible by collecting all of their data in automation...
