[CASL-L] Library Scheduling Tools

[Mike McKenna]

Hi All,

Our HS library simply uses a shared, edit-accessible Google Sheet to all
staff users on our domain, with separate tabs for each library space
available for reservation, either our computer lab for classes or two
available seminar study rooms (up to 4 people each) for use throughout each
period of each school day.

Staff can go in at any point and reserve space as far into the school year
as they like; it's first-come, first-served. Our library staff then updates
our library signage on these spaces each afternoon for the following day,
and each morning for last-minute changes.

We used to run the Lab Scheduler add-on for the Sheet to help manage the
creation and function of the Sheet, but it stopped working well and support
ended, so now we manually create with dates each fall and hide rows one
week at a time as they pass, so the most current dates are closest to the
top of the Sheet.

It's simple and effective for us, and maybe will be for you, too; good luck!
