We’ve recently begun moving to amazon web services for hosting, however we still need to authenticate through ITS who handles the central SSO Authentication services for Virginia.edu.
We don’t have a lot of feedback about how our patrons are using the current equipment booking system. There may be information that users could share with one another (and the library) if given a mechanism to do so.
For our equipment booking system we needed two kinds of content types: reservation and equipment. Patrons would create nodes of the reservation content type. Staff would create nodes of the equipment content type(s).
Our library is always open…*almost always. Things happen (like Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years) and sometimes we even have extended hours and we stay open even longer. Altogether, we have ~ 14 weeks/year that have “non-standard” hours.
Ever since we launched our site re-design, we’ve had a pretty steady flow internal change requests – add links, change fonts, re-style buttons, adjust layouts, modify permissions, etc.
