Free Open Source PC Booking and Reservation Computer Software: Pre-Book™ Linux Server and Windows Client - Userful

Userful Pre-Book™ - The Free and Open Source PC Bookings and Reservation System

Userful Pre-Book™ is a full featured, open source, PC booking and reservation system. Patrons can book time on a computer from home, the office, school or using a walk-up booking at the library itself. Policy settings ensure that the library retains full control over usage.

Userful Pre-Book supports both Userful Desktop™ and Windows® PCs. Download the free server and client software to eliminate time consuming sign-up sheets and painful policing of computers.

Features Include:

Maximum usage restrictions (across all locations by day and/or week) Advance reservation Station availability charts Unreserved walk-up-and-use stations Immediate book: reserve next available station

Email reminders and reservation holding "grace periods" Penalties for no-show reservations Double-booking prevention Client software for both Windows® and Linux Waiting queue

Integration

If you need help integrating Userful Pre-Book with an external authentication system (such as your library automation system, ILS, or LDAP) you can purchase integration or commercial support.

Please note: Due to the comprehensive nature of the Userful Desktop support package, a commercial support contract is required when using Userful Pre-Book in conjunction with Userful Desktop. Learn more about Userful Desktop for Libraries.
