Now available, the latest Libero 6 release includes a number of new enhancements and features that further modernise and enhance library operations.

Room and Resource Booking made simple

With the self-service Room and Resource Booking feature integrated within the Libero 6 Library Management System, library staff and members benefit from a clear process for reserving rooms, meeting spaces, laptops, and other equipment.

This eliminates the need for manual booking methods, reducing administrative time and effort for library staff and prevents double booking or conflicts. Library members will benefit from the convenience of checking availability and reserving resources remotely, ensuring they have the necessary tools and space for their needs.

How library staff can efficiently coordinate library room bookings and resource availability:

• Create bookable resources: Set up rooms and computers with availability hours and maximum booking times, using either the one-off or recurring availability schedule option.
• Add facilities: Include facilities within a resource, e.g., a laptop, wall mounted monitor or specialised resource within a room.
• Create staff-only resource bookings: Restrict resources to staff-only bookings, e.g., a conference room.
• Update resources: Modify resource details, as well as schedule or delete additional sessions.
• Configuration capability: Libraries can provide easy-to-understand information about available rooms and resources.

How library members can reserve library facilities and equipment:

• Browse availability of resources and make bookings: Through a calendar-style booking system, available on the web and the Libero Library App.
• Manage resource bookings: Edit or cancel resource bookings via the resources calendar or member account.
• The enhanced booking functionality within Libero 6 offers a significant step forward for libraries seeking to optimise the use of their spaces and resources. By providing a clear, manageable, and accessible system for both library staff and members, libraries can foster greater engagement and ensure that valuable resources are fully utilised.
