Hi Lebbeous, I've checked resources I don't know how many times and nothing displayed. I made one of STATELIB's items bookable and now I get a list under resources. The ghosts in the machine are finally cooperating today. I knew there had to be something that we were missing.
We are considering removing the module, either the permission route or the config setting you mention. Most of our libraries were more interested in using it for the nonbib item booking but the lack of a calendar feature and a few other issues make it problematic for them. Thanks, Elaine J.

Basically, what are we missing? > Hello Elaine, I think you'll be able to delete the "resource type" entries if you first delete all the related "resource" entries in the interface which you find by following these staff client menus: Admin -> Server Administration -> Booking -> Resources. Also, if I recall correctly, it is possible not to run the Evergreen booking service (a server-side configuration change). Not running the booking service won't gracefully hide all the buttons and links in the staff client that lead to booking features, but it will prevent those features from working. Another, less dramatic option to prevent items from being made bookable again would be to make sure that nobody has either the "ADMIN_BOOKING_RESOURCE_TYPE" or the "ADMIN_BOOKING_RESOURCE" permission.
