Hi Kayla,

At Pitts Theology Library, we previously used OpenRoom (https://www.linuxlinks.com/openroom/), a free tool developed by Ball State University Libraries. It was a cost-effective solution for many years (mostly before my time here).

We then switched to Springshare's LibCal (https://www.springshare.com/libcal/), which has a higher cost (i.e. not free) but more options and a better interface. It also reduced our systems maintenance load because we were already using other Springshare tools like LibAnswers, LibGuides, and LibStaffer.


Best,

    Hello!

    We are looking for a free (or low-cost) booking system for a library space. We need to be able to add custom questions and we need to be able to approve before it is added to a calendar.

    Calendly ALMOST works, but you cannot approve before an event is added to a calendar.

    Any recommendations would be highly appreciated.
