Our university has an Instructional Media Centre; they've been using
Evergreen with projectors, etc just catalogued and signed out as regular
items in the library system for 2 years now. However, over the summer
they hope to start using Evergreen's bookings/reservation module to
manage bookings for equipment (right now they're using a shared calendar
for that purpose, which is clearly far from ideal).
