In the morning, warm light streams through the tall windows of a historic reading room. Long wooden tables with numbered reading lamps stretch calmly through the space. Students are engrossed in open books, with pens neatly at the ready. A gentle cough, the rustle of paper, and otherwise only silent concentration.

Amidst towering shelves, an employee pushes a book cart down the aisle. The hallway is quiet, with dust dancing in the narrow beam of light. A carefully labeled book spine slides into place, and the hand pauses briefly. In the background, a quiet workspace opens up with scattered reading chairs.

From paper systems to a 3D map: Your library manages learning spaces fairly, transparently, and automatically

Without a central system, space allocation, rules, and traceability quickly fall out of sync, especially during exam periods.

Inefficient space and resource management

Manual lists, double bookings, and lack of overview cost time and patience. Peak times remain uncontrollable, available capacities are overlooked, and inquiries accumulate.

No-shows and low commitment

Without check-in windows, quotas, and clear cancellation policies, spaces remain empty even though there is demand. Fairness suffers, and employees constantly need to make adjustments.

Features for Campus Libraries: Rooms, Spaces, Policies

Manage occupancy, accountability, and access with one platform. From 3D maps to SSO, integrations, and GDPR-compliant data management.

Manage seats and spaces on the 3D map

Show live availabilities, visually guide users, and avoid double bookings. Attributes and filters will get everyone to the right learning location faster.

  • Live status, heat map, and attributes

  • Category, location, and property filters

  • Intuitive routing

A bright reading area unfolds with clearly arranged zones, separated by low shelves. Numbered tables stand in quiet rows, and pathways are spaciously designed. A person adjusts a chair and sets out a booklet. The layout appears logical, making orientation intuitive at first glance.

A workspace in the reading room is just being occupied: A person pushes the chair closer, lays out note paper, and audibly exhales. Nearby, it's quiet; the next table is empty and tidy. The scene conveys a swift turnover without rush, everything appears orderly and fair.

Use Cases: Room and Space Management in the University Library

  • A quiet study area with clearly numbered tables opens up behind a wide door. Unobtrusive signs guide you along a corridor to different zones. Sunlight casts bright rectangles on the floor, with chairs precisely aligned. A person briefly gets their bearings and quickly finds a suitable spot.
    Learning Space Management with 3D Seating Chart

A wall board displays handwritten headings and arrows. Voices are softly muted, creating an atmosphere that feels focused and open.
    Manage group rooms and special areas

    Plan group rooms, project areas, or studios with resources like keys or equipment. Rules, liability agreements, and access per user group ensure fair use and clear responsibilities.

  • At a simple consultation table, two people sit facing each other. Between them are printed guides, highlighted chapters, and a prepared form. The shelves behind them look tidy and welcoming. A brief exchange of glances signifies understanding, and then a note is added to the paper.
    Offer scheduled consultations and services

How Digital Space Booking is Transforming the University Library

Digital space and room reservation brings order to the dynamic use of modern libraries. Students today expect transparent real-time availability, fair distribution of scarce spaces, and mobile accessibility without queues. Libraries, in turn, need reliable data to manage peak times, plan spaces, and justify budgets. Clear rules for cancellation, quotas, and commitment enhance the quality of use and reduce vacancies. Meanwhile, hybrid learning models are gaining importance: group work, quiet carrels, and workshops need to be flexibly combinable. Only through clear roles and access models can different communities be fairly considered. Integrations into campus ecosystems such as LMS, library systems, or calendars create seamless workflows and reduce support efforts. In short, digital booking makes libraries more manageable, fairer, and noticeably more user-friendly.
