LibCal: Reserving a Time

Problem/Question

How do I reserve a space in LibCal?

Overview

Anyone with U of M credentials can access the LibCal and select a time to reserve. 

Solution

To reserve a space or seat in an area that is managed by LibCal visit the web page Faculty/Staff Workspace in UC2101. 

 

Location of "Next Available" button shown in upper left part of the page.

The page will default to the current day. Since all reservations must be made three days in advance the first thing that is recommended is for you to click on  the "Next Available" button. This will forward you to the next day with available spaces.

 

Example of the appointment calendar and time slots

The reservations page shows available hours and times. All available hours are green. Red indicates that the space has already beeen reserved. Grey indicates the room is closed.

 

Location of Pagination buttons is in the lower left of screen

Please note that if the window is not large enough that there is a scroll bar at the bottom to see more hours. There are also links to show additional pages that list more spaces.

 

Example of selecting an appointment time slot by clicking on a graphic of the time slot.

To reserve a space simply click in the desired time block.

 

The "Submit" button is at the bottom of the calendar

Then click the "Submit Times" button. LibCal uses the U of M Single Sign On system, so at this point you may or may not be asked to login. If so, use your normal unique name and password.

If you clicked on the wrong time slot and want to remove the selection look at the box above the submit button. It lists each time slot that was chosen.
To remove a selected time slot click on the trash can icon at the end of the line right after the date.

Remove or cancel appointment by clicking on the "Trash Can" icon in the confirmation screen

 

Click the "Continue" button on the appointment review screen to continue to the submission screen.

The details of the booking will be shown. Click the "Continue" button to confirm the details.

 

Click the "Submit my Booking" button to complete the appointment request.

This screen is the submission form which for Dearborn is simply a name and email, and since you have already signed in it will already be prepopulated and uneditable. So just click the "Submit my Booking" button to complete the reservation.

 

The final screen shows booking details and a button to start a new request or logout

Now your booking is complete. You can log out or make another booking. 

You will be sent an email confirming your reservation.
