Dear All,

We have a several microscope systems in our multiuser Core Facility. Could
you please recommend a good booking system for us.

We need (apart from basic functions):
 - monthly limits for one user
 - user usage reports
 - reservation approval
 - separate user accounts


Sincerely,

Artur

This often crops up at our Facility Managers Meetings.
A few solutions are here (not comprehensive):

In addition, the following might be of interest:
http://www.imaging-git.com/science/light-microscopy/core-facility-management
http://www.imaging-git.com/science/protocols/enhancing-efficiency-resource-use
http://www.ilabsolutions.com/

Please note that I have zero commercial interest in any of this, and it's
not a comprehensive list. It's just what people use in facilities over here.

Kind regards

Philippe

Hi,
No commercial interest but we're quite happy with FOM. See: http://www.fomnetworks.com
I believe it can do what you need.
Cheers,
Damir

Hi:

Depending on the need for other facilities, the URMC has implemented the
PPMS system from Stratocore (http://stratocore.com/)  It works very well
with our microscopes and can provide the functions you need.

Regards
Tim
