Book items

You can share resources, such as assessment kits, that are used periodically. Use Resource Manager to book resources immediately, or reserve resources for specific dates in the future (based on your teachers' curriculum needs). Staff with central booking site access can manage bookings and book resources for patrons throughout the district.

Note: The advance booking site (the site where shared resources are kept) must have its own site license in Resource Manager.
