Indianapolis, IN – December 15, 2010 – Evanced Solutions built its popular Room Reserve product with public libraries in mind, however, with the ability to manage rooms, take reservations and work in both mediated and unmediated formats, Room Reserve has quickly gained popularity amongst academic libraries.

The libraries at Rice University (Texas), Vanderbilt University (Tennessee), and the University of California – San Diego recently joined the ranks of New York University, University of Colorado – Denver, Utah Valley University, Sault College (Ontario), Ecole Polytechnique (Quebec), Mississippi State University and others who are using Room Reserve in new ways.

Room Reserve has become an effective tool for allowing university faculty to schedule library instruction sessions online.  And libraries such as the campus library at Utah Valley University make use of Room Reserve to help with the management of over 35 study rooms, media labs, and instruction centers.  New York University allows students to reserve study rooms through their unmediated system, saving staff time and associated costs.

Evanced Solution’s Senior Account Manager, Claudia Hackworth finds that Room Reserve fills many needs of academic libraries.  “I think academic libraries spend a lot of time with duct tape and band-aids, trying to kludge together a system that allows for both control of their rooms as well as public access.  Our software solves a multitude of challenges, from offering both mediated and unmediated room and equipment management to creating easy, savable reports that library staff can run anytime to find out usage statistics and room setup requirements.  It’s a great all-in-one package!”

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, Evanced Solutions offers software and dedicated service for libraries of all types and budgets. Online tools include event calendaring with online registration, meeting room booking, summer reading management, and library materials vending all designed to better attract and engage the communities libraries serve.
