[WEB4LIB] Desperately Seeking Scheduler

[Masters, Gary E]

Robin:

I hope you find something good.  I have had several systems that also would
schedule meetings, but all would not work unless everyone who would be at
the meetings also entered in their schedules. Every day, all of the time.
I have never seen that accomplished.  So, my point is, you can get the
software.  But if the people do not adapt to it, it is not worth very much.

Good luck!

Gary

	Firstly - my apologies if this is considered off-topic, and also for
	cross-postings. My excuse is that I am in dire need.

	I am seeking software that will help in scheduling meetings. I work
in a
	number of cross-functional teams comprised of different sets of
people from
	four different areas of my library, each of which has its own
schedule. It
	can take a week of effort to schedule a meeting, and sometimes we
can't find
	a date less than a month out, which is often undesirable.

	I would like to find something based on the internet, or
alternatively a
	program I could install and run from our own LAN.

	Of course, I have nothing in my current budget for such an item, so
	freeware/shareware options would be most valuable.

	TIA for any suggestions, and apologies again for any infringement of
	listserv rules.

	Sincerely,
	Robin Boulton
