[Web4lib] Study room booking systems

[Kelli Staley]

We use www.clickbook.net to book time with our computer assistant, but you
could easily use it for booking rooms.  You can take a peek here:

https://www.clickbook.net/dev/bc.nsf/sub/lansingpubliclibrary?OpenDocument&cb_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lansingpubliclibrary.clickbook.net%2Fdev%2Fbc.nsf%2FSPHome%3FOpenForm

You have to pay to add more than 1 item that can be booked, but it's pretty
reasonable.

Users can book their own time via website, (email address required) and it
sends an email reminder to them.  I believe there is an additional charge
for SMS.

It's quite easy to setup the schedule of available times, and easy to remove
a chunk of time if staff needs the meeting room for something.
