It isn't quite the same, but here such things are booked through a
"Resources" section in that part of the MS Outlook program that one can
use for setting up an appointment or meeting. Effectively, one creates a
'meeting' and invites to it any required resources (including IT
equipment and rooms). The system allows one to invite people too, but
that isn't essential. Outlook's meeting system takes care of things
being pre-booked, and avoids double-booking of equipment in the same way
it does for double booking of people.
