Hi Andrea, We use Springshare's LibCal tool to manage our study room reservations. It has a pretty powerful backend that allows you have all sorts of settings with regards to room usage and space management. What we didn't like about LibCal was the default front-end, so we created our own using the API supplied by Springshare. This gives us the power of the back-end while delivering a completely different experience to our users. We presented on this at Code4Lib this year as a poster and at Design 4 Digital. Our slides for D4D can be found here - https://scholarworks.iupui.edu/handle/1805/25269 Please reach out if you'd like a demo or have any questions.
