Enhancing study room reservations at the Oklahoma State University Libraries: A case study on user interface development

Abstract

This case study explores the transformation of study room reservations at the Oklahoma State University (OSU) Libraries. Initially reliant on manual methods, the library transitioned to vendor-supported software and would later develop a custom, open source user interface (UI) to streamline booking efficiency. These improvements help demonstrate the effectiveness of tailored solutions in meeting user needs and improving system functionality for all stakeholders.
