Hi there<br>
<br>
At the moment we don&#39;t use a scheduling software, but I think I mentioned to you \
that we were hoping to change over (to a product I used in the past at a former \
library). I am still trying to convince my staff of the merits - they will get there \
in the end. Right now it&#39;s done in Publisher and is not interactive or useful at \
all.<br>

<br>
The product that I would highly recommend is <a href="http://www.whentowork.com/" \
target="_blank">http://www.whentowork.com/</a> Very cost-effective and I believe it \
will do most, if not all of what you want, including the optional items you \
listed.<br>

<br>
Thanks<br>

&gt; Subject: [WEB4LIB] scheduling software suggestions?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I don&#39;t want to use Outlook for this.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I&#39;m looking for a (free or cheap) scheduling software that:<br>
&gt; Allows staff to input requests off (optional, but nice)<br>
&gt; Allows input of special events; assign someone to work the event<br>
&gt; (i.e. Juan is scheduled 12-5, but is handling the computer class<br>
&gt; from 2-3:30)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Allows scheduling without setting up fixed shifts, but shows areas<br>
&gt; are covered.<br>
&gt; Allows view/print of multiple weeks at a time.  We always do a<br>
&gt; monthly schedule, most of what I&#39;ve found already is basically a<br>
&gt; grid list of days across the top, names down the side.<br>
&gt; I really don&#39;t want to waste the paper for a weekly schedule.<br>
&gt; Keeps track of total hours per employee (optional)<br>
&gt; Any suggestions? TIA<br>
