Hi Phil , hee in the Digital Arts Cente at the University of Worcester we use the Leihs system which is a 'free' open source booking system. We have been using it for about 6 years, we've modified it so that it works with our Universitys authentication system and 'myfare' system (an RF ID reader for validating students via their i.d cards) EVen though its free don't think for one minute that its a poor cousing of a paid system, we find it does everything the other systesms do and is easy to use.
You can check out a demo of the system hear although bare in mind that it looks a bit bare and sometimes the images dont load onthe demo not sure why not. Anyway I can highly recomend it. Go to the demo and login as a

All the details on on the website. I'll be happy to do my best to answer any of your questions. i think there is also another system out there called Liberty? but I think this might be more about scheduling. Hope this is useful Phil.
