Booking : what it is and what you do
From MCLS Wiki
Booking allows staff to create reservations for non-bibliographic resources/items (meeting rooms, electronic equipment, carts, brooms, etc.) that are in the catalog. Resources must have the status of Available or Re-shelving in order for them to be reserved. In order for a resource/item to be booked, it must first be made bookable.
The process:
- Resources are made bookable
- Staff creates a reservation
- Staff generates a pull list for reserved resources
- Staff capture the resources (which is similar to triggering a hold)
- The user who wants the resource picks it up (similar to checking an item out)
- The resource is returned (similar to checking an item in)
