Reserving Rooms and Resources in Google Calendar

When using a shared resource like the Eureka Lab, you can see when it is available and reserve it using Google Calendar

In Google Calendar, the left navigation bar has options to show and hide many calendars. Click on the plus symbol next to "Other calendars"

Next, select Browse resources from the dropdown list that appears.

The available rooms and resources are grouped by location within Meadowbrook. Expand the group to see individual calendars for resources within that location.

Select the calendar you wish to view from the list in that location.

The calendar will now appear in your view and can be turned on and off by clicking on the box next to it in the Other calendars section of the left navigation pane in your Google Calendar.

Reserving a room or resource on Google Calendar

Rooms and resources are not directly reserved on their Google Calendars. Instead, they are added in the same area where people are invited to calendar events. Check the resource calendar to make sure there is no conflict and then you can reserve the room or resource.

To do this, create or edit an existing event on your Google Calendar. You can double click an existing event or double click in an open space to get the the full event editor window.

After you add title, date, and time information, select the Rooms tab

Navigate to the room/resource you wish to reserve from the dropdown list.

You can search the room/resource name in the search bar in the window.
You can navigate the location sections expanding the one you want using the arrow next to it.
The room/resource you want may show up in the suggested section at the top of the list.

Once you have selected your room/resource, your reservation should show up as an event in your calendar and then a few moments later show up in the room/resource's calendar as well. If you move your event or cancel it, these changes will be reflected in the other calendar, as well.
