Thanks to the many people who responded with suggestions for library
timetabling.
Star prize goes to Angela Newton who suggests Shift Schedules
(http://www.shiftschedules.com ) who provide bespoke Excel spreadsheets and
look like an excellent low tech solution. Looking at their web site it
would seem their Series 6 is probably closest to what we need. Note you can
download a trial version before you pay for the full product.
I would be very keen to hear from anyone who has used these for real.
Many thanks to lis-linkers as always for being so helpful

Hi Adam,
A company called Shift Schedules http://www.shiftschedules.com/ can provide
you with this. Though Im not sure how flexible the software is?
Thanks,
Angela

Just a quick check to see if anyone has solved one of my favourite grail
quests and found software able to timetable several service points in a big
LRC. Rest assured I will email lis-link back if anyone has cracked this
Thanks
