New Meeting Room Calendar
Welcome back, everybody!
Instead of using the old spreadsheet meeting room calendar, we're going to try something new. The link in the menu on the right will take you to the Google calendar for looscan.library. If you don't remember the password to log in, it's the usual one for staff.
To make a reservation for either the meeting room or the conference room, click on the appropriate date and time and then click on "Edit event". It's pretty straightfoward after that. Name the event (group name, usually), make sure the starting time and ending time are accurate, and under description put a contact person's name, phone #, and your initials.
The most important thing you must do before you save the entry is choose the correct room. You do this from the drop down menu that says "Looscan Library". There are 2 options, "Looscan Conference Room" and "Looscan Meeting Room". Select the correct room and then click on save.
Back in calendar view, you'll notice that events taking place in the meeting room are turqouise and events taking place in the conference room are purple (we can change the colors if we want!). There's a legend on the left side of the calendar in case you forget which is which.
Tip: If you are booking the conference room for the same time the meeting room is booked or vice versa, click in the white area outside (right next to) the colored box. If you click in the colored area, it will bring up the existing reservation for editing.
