LibCal Room Bookings
Create Groups of Rooms
Your Library has many different types of rooms ranging from internal/staff-use only rooms (e.g. conference rooms, instruction rooms) to rooms available to the public (e.g. study rooms, meeting rooms etc.). Each room type has its own set of rules, restrictions and even availability.
Enter LibCal's Room Groups - grouping similar rooms together and setting up availability, restrictions, policies & conditions and room use instructions is a breeze!
Everything in Moderation
We understand your concern about room moderation - some people can get possessive about their library spaces, trying to SNAP up
every available timeslot for the next three months. This is why LibCal has nifty built-in moderation features like limiting bookings to specific email addresses, limiting the number of times a user can book a room in a day, custom registration forms to gather user information and even giving you the ability to cancel a room booking.
Stats Galore!
Getting room usage statistics with LibCal is a breeze. See how often rooms were booked, for how long they were occupied, number of canceled bookings and even break down bookings by month so you can see which rooms and when are in high demand. We built the statistics package by closely working with librarians so we know which statistics you care about.
