LibCal is the online software Valley Library uses to manage reservations for our classrooms and study rooms. The creators of LibCal, Springshare, have detailed tutorials available online for learning how to use LibCal. While these pages will include a brief overview of LibCals structure and links to Springshare's tutorials, the primary will be on processes and procedures specific to Valley Library's use of LibCal.
