Dear all,
We’ve been using a good online booking system for our instruments, but
this is coming to an end, sadly, a proprietry system written, and owned by, a
student who has now left. We have about 12 instruments on this now, with
different minimum/maximum timeslots, hours allowed per week, time allowed to
book in advance, etc. We can set different levels of user access, whether
they need training or assistance, and can generate email lists for each
instrument or for each research group. Lots of options, simply laid out.
So we’ve been trialling Calcium – any other/better options out
there? The current system is much easier and simpler than Calcium, but
we’re going to have to bite the bullet and use something else. Our
admin said we should use Outlook calendars, but I’m not very keen on
that, it doesn’t seem as flexible and not everyone uses outlook.
thanks,
Rosemary
