Reserve a Group Study Room in Alden Library Using The Mobile App

Hi, this is Jessica Hagman with the Ohio University Libraries. In this video, I'm going to show to make a room reservation using the Alden Library app. Starting from the home page of the app, click on the link that says "news, classes, meetings, rooms" and then choose which room-area you'd like to reserve. So, I'm going to go to reserve a room on the 2nd floor. You can also reserve rooms on the 1st, 3rd or 4th floors or reserve the Rollins room. By default, you'll see the reservations for today, but you can choose a day. I'm going to reserve a room for Monday, the 20th. Then scroll down and look for the available slots. So, I want to reserve room 220 which has 26 open slots; click on the plus sign and I can see a map of where this room is as well as some information about it and then scroll down to choose available times. You can reserve up to 3 hours in half-hour increments. So, I'm going to reserve the room from 9-10, so I will turn on the reservation from 9AM to 9:30AM and then 9:30 to 10. Now scroll down to the end of the page and enter my full name, email address, a description of the class or group you're working with and then choose a college affiliation. Once you've done all that, click on "submit booking" to reserve your room.
