Hi Thomas,

If you want to allow teachers to book their own times into the calendars, then you should use the Appointments feature of Google Calendar. I just Google the feature to send you a link for how to use it, but Google says it is going away as of Jan 2013. :-( I'm hoping they are replacing it with something else as this is a very nice feature for what you want to do. 

Here is the info on appointment slots. Maybe they will replace it with an updated feature. http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=190998&topic=1672471&ctx=topic

Good Morning Fellow Librariae,
 
We are now a 'Google school' and I'd like to use google calendar for signing up / displaying bookings for computer labs, carts, and resources. I want to know how some of your schools might handle using google calendar for these purposes. I want teachers to see the bookings and be able to 'book' thier own times into the calendar for these resources. But maybe to keep it orderly library staff should be the ones updating the calendar bookings.
 
How might you be utilizing google calendar? Best practices?
 
Thanks folks,
 
Thomas
