I have what I think is a fairly straightforward question (and one that I hope has a straight forward answer):

How do I go about finding a module for a specific task I need to accomplish? I have tried searching here, but man I am having a terrible time finding what I'm looking for.

Ok that was general; now I'll be specific

We are migrating my department (at a university) website to Drupal. One of the major functions of our website is a calendaring system. You know - one that will do all the normal functions a calendar should do

* list events in a few different categories
--> allow people to register for those events, then send out email reminders

* reserve rooms (tied to an above event)

* reserve equipment (projectors, etc).

Anyone got suggestions for a good Calendaring module?

Thought your question is not that specific I may suggest you to use two modules that surely will achieve some of the tasks you mentioned:

http://drupal.org/project/calendar
http://drupal.org/project/date

in addition you may also take a look to:

http://drupal.org/project/event

Of course as far I have understand from your posting I would suggest you an awsome drupal book that contain all what you need to fullfill your project:

Using Drupal
in my opinion the best and well documented also with installation profiles that go throughout main Drupal Site development and implementation scenario.

drupalmodules.com and google.com can help with more refined searches for modules.

The reservations/bookings area in drupal is still in active development, but you probably want to checkout the following modules:
