[Libs-Or] Appointment Booking Software

[Perry Stokes]

We have been using the Wordpress Book-a-Room
<https://wordpress.org/plugins/book-a-room/>  software. It was our first
software booking solution and has been functioning well. It does require a
Wordpress hosting service <https://www.wpbeginner.com/wordpress-hosting/> ,
which we were able to set up on an in-house server. 

Now since our IT Specialist with Wordpress skills moved on and we desire
something more user-friendly, we are now exploring other options.  

 

Looking at various discussion boards, I've found these two seem to have high
user satisfaction rates:

 

1.       Communico

https://communico.co <https://communico.co/> 

 

2.       LibCal

https://www.springshare.com/libcal/

 

 

Others:

Demco D!bs (formerly Evanced)

LibraryMarket

Roomzilla

Skedda

Note: Skedda seems to have a growing fanbase. It is free (up to 5 rooms) but
does not offer a request review/approval feature.

Subject: [Libs-Or] Appointment Booking Software

 

Hi All,

 

Does anyone have any recommendations for appointment booking software? We
need it for study room reservations and our read to the dogs program. We
have already looked into Library Market but it's a bit robust for our needs.
We've also looked into the Wordpress Book-A-Room but we do not have a
Wordpress page so as we understand it, we cannot use it (for those of you
who use that, can you confirm that is correct?). We're also looking into
Demco's D!BS and Springshare/LibCal. Any experience with either of those, or
any completely different appointment booking software not yet on my radar?
