[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Booking Equipment or Rooms on Evergreen

[J. Miley]

David,

You may want to check out Rapla (http://www.rapla.org) for resource booking.
We are currently using this at my library and it is working out quite well.
We have been using it for a few months for our meeting rooms and equipment
booking. Unfortunately, if you want something to connect to your ILS  or be
available to patrons online this isn't the product; however, it is good for
staff to book resources.
