Room Reservations

Room Reservations is a module for making and managing room reservations.

It was initially developed by Randall Library at the University of North Carolina Wilmington to allow students, faculty, and staff to reserve group study rooms within the library. However, it can be employed by any organization to provide an easy to use room reservation system.

Overview

The application displays a calendar of rooms that can be reserved. Users make a reservation by selecting an open time slot for a particular room and then filling out a reservation form. Once a reservation is made, confirmation messages and reminders can be sent to multiple parties by email and SMS text message. Users are also able to view, update, and cancel existing reservations.
