Re: [CODE4LIB] Online Room Reservations
This would only apply for a Drupal site, but I wrote a custom set of modules for Drupal 6, for Drexel University Libraries, that does just this. I have a testing area set up for people to try out, and am in the process of polishing the code base for release on Drupal.org. Here's the sandbox page, where the code will be deployed when it's ready for beta, hopefully soon - http://drupal.org/sandbox/kat3drx/1524514 If anyone would like a pass at the preview area, please contact me off-list and I will give you the information.
