[Web4lib] computer booking system for public library

[Kevin Devine]

While I don't have first-hand experience, I noticed that Userful had a 
free software program called Pre-Book, and they have a trial version of 
DiscoverStation you could try.

My experience with SAM has been one of the most negative software experiences I've had in my career.  Library Online, on the other hand, was almost completely trouble-free and the log-in and reservation processes were easy to learn for the users.  I would recommend Library Online over SAM very, very strongly.
