Noel,
If you'd like to have a look at a couple of examples, these are sites for
bookings labs and resources. They are being used for real though so please
don't make frivolous bookings. In both cases there's a lot more available
to administrators after logging in, if you want to know more please ask me
off the list. Both sites are administered using a browser.
In this site we're considering incorporating bookings for teaching courses
also - and a redesign, specially of the front page! See
http://domino.lancs.ac.uk/ISS/bookings.nsf
There aren't many bookings in this example because we just re-launched it
- so what you'll see may be revised in light of users comments:
