When I was at the Queensland University of Technology we implemented the Meeting Room Booking System http://mrbs.sourceforge.net
Our developer found it "very configurable" (he loved working with the PHP) and it works with a number of authentication servers http://mrbs.sourceforge.net/view_text.php?section=Documentation&file=AUTHENTICATION

Take a look at PHPScheduleit. We are using it to book media rooms for
students. This semester we are going to start allowing self-booking. It
was pretty simple to set up and the only real upkeep has been backing up
the server.

Hi All,
We are managing four multimedia rooms and we would like to let the
faculty reserve the rooms online. I've seen DIGIREZ but it is too
costly for us. Is there any free scripts or program that will do the
same?
Thank you,

BISG and NISO to Co-Host 4th Annual Standards Forum at ALA's Annual
Conference
June 25, 2010 half-day forum will focus on the changing standards landscape
from the end-users' perspective
Building on three years of successful co-programming, the Book Industry
Study Group (BISG) and the National Information Standards Organization
(NISO) will again co-host The Changing Standards Landscape on June 25, 2010
from 12:30 PM to 4:00 PM, directly prior to the American Library
Association's Annual Conference in Washington, DC. This year's free,
half-day program will focus on standards as they're experienced by readers
and other content consumers and feature thought leadership in the critical
areas of identification, discovery and format. Those interested in attending
should RSVP to nisohq at niso.org.
"The Changing Standards Landscape has become a tremendously successful event
since its inception four years ago," said Todd Carpenter, NISO's Managing
Director. "Developing a deeper understanding between the publishing,
distribution and library supply chains is increasingly critical and each
year we've focused on significant challenges our communities face alongside
standards and best practice solutions. This year's program will highlight
again how rapidly our industry is changing and how BISG and NISO are
proactively addressing these issues."
Mr. Carpenter will be onsite to co-chair the forum alongside BISG's
Executive Director, Scott Lubeck. Together they will guide attendees through
three programmatic themes:
1. Identify and Describe
2. Format, Discover and Retrieve
3. Purchase and Use
"The ways in which end-users eventually experience and interact with
standards largely drives how these standards are built," said Mr. Lubeck.
"We're happy to be able to bring light to this important perspective, one
shared by both BISG and NISO."
The Changing Standards Landscape is organized jointly by the NISO and BISG.
Both organizations support, promote and maintain standards and best
practices in the information community. NISO focuses on publishers,
libraries and the systems suppliers in information distribution. BISG
focuses on the book supply chain of publishers, manufacturers, wholesale and
retail suppliers.

available visit http://www.niso.org/news/events/2010/ala2010/ or

Research Data Access and Preservation
http://www.asis.org/Conferences/IA10/ResearchDataAccessSummit2010.html
Phoenix, AZ | Hyatt Regency | April 9-10, 2010
In cooperation with the Coalition for Networked Information
Research Data Access and Preservation
Researchers in all fields generate and analyze enormous quantities of digital data.
In fields ranging throughout the sciences and humanities, managing, preserving, and
sharing these data require substantial capital and human resources and new kinds of
information professionals who are able to integrate technology, content, and policy skills.
This summit aims to bring together leaders in data centers, laboratories, and libraries
in different organizational and disciplinary settings to share ideas and techniques for
managing, preserving, and sharing large-scale research data repositories with an eye toward
achieving infrastructure-independent access and stewardship. The summit will engage three
kinds of leaders: those from projects with experience in integrating high-performance
technologies; those from large scale collaboratories in science, social science,
and the humanities; and those from institutions coping with the challenges of integrating
different technologies and data collections.

Effective Thursday evening, Feb. 25, 2010, I will be closing down Library 2.0 on Ning, http://library20.ning.com . The network has not seen much traffic the last few months and most people requesting to join are posting profiles full of link spam. The return is no longer worth the work. I am not transferring it to anyone else. I want to freeze and archive the contents in some way. Thursday I will be suspending all members of the network. The content will remain but no one will be able to post to it.
I am not passing it along to someone else because my name is attached to it and I do not want it to turn into something I would not want to be associated with. If members of the network feel a need for it, they can start another one on Ning.
Library 2.0 on Ning has been a big success but it is now time to move on. Networks that require you to go to them to use them are a thing of the past. I have no regrets about what started as a place for me to experiment with Ning and Web 2.0. It grew far beyond my wildest hopes. At one point it got over 50 posts a day but is now getting less than 4 posts a month. I have learned much from it and made many new friends.
See you in Cyberspace on Twitter, Facebook, and other places.

We've finalized the line up. Mark your calendars and sign up now for
the full series of weekly webinars offering fun and informative stuff

Register now for the whole series at the bargain rate of $200 for all
6, at:
http://www.wils.wisc.edu/events/opsolutions_reg2.html
You can register for the series after it starts and have full access
to all the previous session recordings after the live presentations.
You receive the codes to access the sessions and recordings, good for
up to a year after the sessions.
We charge in order to offset expenses for the webinar system. Single
"seat" registrations can be used for a whole library, as long as you
view the session together using one web connection and one phone
connection. This is a way of allowing us to provide webinars to more
people using less webinar resources. If you want to project it and
use a speaker phone we think that's a good idea and the shared
experience with your colleagues will only make the webinars better.
Each one hour Webinar will present about 45 minutes of content
including live web demonstrations, leaving time in the hour for
questions and discussions. Participants use an internet enabled
computer to view the content and a phone line to hear and talk. Long
distance is via an "800" number. Speaker phones with mute buttons are
a good thing for groups.
