There is a free version of LibCal that we use at Dowling that allows
room scheduling and multiple calendars.  It's limited to 3 rooms, and
it may be limited to three calendars as well.  But, the interface is
pretty easy to use, and it will output the calendars as RSS feeds that
can can be customized for events or closings, etc.  We've been very
happy with it.
