David, You may want to check out Rapla (http://www.rapla.org) for resource booking. We are currently using this at my library and it is working out quite well. We have been using it for a few months for our meeting rooms and equipment booking. Unfortunately, if you want something to connect to your ILS or be available to patrons online this isn't the product; however, it is good for staff to book resources.
