[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Custom Booking module and Evergreen Database structure

To create a material booking module for a library, would someone be able
to use the existing database tables for holds and just differentiate it
with a "booking" identifier in the hold_type field or would creating a
booking module require entire new tables? It seems that the
action.hold_requests table structure allows for hourly bookings on
materials but I wasn't sure?

Thanks,
Robert
