We use the same app, and recently switched from a longer URL with "srrs" for "study room reservation system" (still its name) as a script path element to just "rooms.library.gwu.edu". I don't think we've had much feedback one way or the other on the URL, but maybe it's a little easier to remember. Looked like one big block of Xs of already-booked rooms this time last year at the old URL; pretty much looks exactly the same right now. Fwiw we've found it to be a useful app - somewhere well north of 250,000 reservations over the past 5-6 semesters. -Dan On Nov 30, 2012, at 12:07 PM, Alisak Sanavongsay wrote: > I didn't have any part in its naming or development, but we use 'crs,' which is short for "Campus Reservation System." You can take a peep at the front page at http://crs.ucmerced.edu.
