Hi Margaret, We are in the same situation with campus adopting EMS and we use LibCal for public library spaces. We are very happy with LibCal for student reservations, and it is easier to use than EMS for students. Perhaps down the road we will try to integrate, but I think it is at least a year away before that might even be considered.

Hi all, Our university uses EMS for room bookings, and during COVID they started scheduling some of the rooms in the library using EMS. We use LibCal for our own room bookings, and unfortunately due to security we cannot simply share the EMS info into LibCal, and are resorting to manual typing in each appointment to LibCal to be able to keep track. Has anyone used an API or other way to get EMS bookings into LibCal? Thanks!
