We've written our own software to do this - its a load of CGI scripts
written in Perl with a MySQL backend database (all running on a Linux
box). We use it allow bookings of group study rooms, individual study
carrels, meeting rooms and some equipment. Its been in production use for
just over a year. If there is interest in others using this software we
can look into seeking permission for other sites to use this software.
