Booking Requests

Your library may have activated on option on the Member Services menubar to allow Booking Requests to be made.   The functionality of this option is as follows:

1.             After selecting the BOOKING REQUEST option on the Member Services menubar. the Bookings Step 1 page allows you to enter the Date or click on the calendar icon to select the required date.

2.             After the Date has been entered, click on the Step 2 button

3.             The Step 2 page allows you to view all of the resources that the library has made available for booking, and the timeslots that can be booked.  A large X is shown in any timeslot that is already booked.

4.             In the list of resources on the left, click on the resource that you wish to make a booking on.  You will then be taken to the Step 3 page.  The information on this page includes:

·            the booking item/resource and date selected on the previous page;

·            Checkboxes for each of the Available timeslots;

·            For each timeslot, the Time From, Time To and Availability Status will be shown.  Timeslots which are already booked will show a Status of Not Available and will not have a checkbox for selection.  

5.             To book a Timeslot, click in the appropriate checkboxes, then click on the Submit button.   A message confirming that the booking has been made will be displayed for each Timeslot selected.

6.             If the transaction is rejected after clicking on the Submit button, it could mean that the timeslot has been booked by someone else between the time you selected the timeslot and clicked on the Submit button.  If this is the case, you can go back to the Step 2 page and select another timeslot.

7.             You can view all of your current Bookings on the Member Statement page.
