[Web4lib] Media booking/reservation software

[Don Hamilton]

Apologies for those of you on the MRBS list, wherein I posted similarly
yesterday....
 
 
Hello, list.
 
The library at MPOW just inherited some 800 dvd's that used to be
managed elsewhere on campus. We're cataloguing them, and circulating
them through our circ reserve system without (too many) problems. But
(of course) the Film Studies professors would like the ability to book
the films for occasional classroom use, and I'm loathe to even explore
our circ system add-on that supports media scheduling, let alone pay for
it.
 
Does anyone know of a 'reservation' system for movies/dvd's that:
 
-Is web based and open source
-Allows users to search by at least title/keywords.
-Can e-mail reservations to some central admin
-can bulk load titles from an external source
 
Anyone done this, or something similar, or have another (very
inexpensive) solution?
 
Thanks
