[Web4lib] Key Reservations [heur]

No, not exactly, but please let us know what you find. : )
 
Or, alternatively, if you end up developing something, I'd be willing to help, since I'm currently planning and developing something similar.

	Hello all,
	
	Our library is considering automating the process of
	reserving study rooms. Currently, we have about 2
	dozen rooms, and we check out keys to students/faculty
	for 2-hour periods. We take reservations for these
	keys up to 3 weeks in advance via several binders that
	are kept at the Circ desk.
	
	We would like to provide a kiosk where patrons can
	make their own reservations. Eventually, we might even
	think about a Web interface. It must only check out
	keys for 2-hour periods of time, and not accept
	reservations more than 24-hours in advance. It must
	also be very easy to use, and accept patrons' names
	without having an account on the system. I've seen
	several scheduling systems that do similar things, but
	none that really seem to meet our requirements
	exactly.
	
	Has anyone else tried this, and could you recommend
	either a commercial or non-commercial software
	package?
	
	Cheers,
