Reserving Marcotte Library Video Conferencing Rooms

Based on student feedback, the Marcotte Library has upgraded its reservation system for the video conferencing rooms. Each room now features a tap display screen communicating whether the room has an upcoming booking and allows users to self-reserve as they enter.
