Hello, Does anyone who lends out laptops or other equipment have a reliable booking system for them? We would like users to be able to book the equipment in advance, but our library management system doesn't flag up future reservations if someone else comes in to borrow the item in the meantime. This can result in their loan period overlapping the date it was booked for by the first person - not ideal... Kind regards, Lesley H.
