New students - request access to the online booking system 

If you are a new student, or you haven’t booked a group study room in the Library before, you will need to make an online request to access the booking system. You should only have to do this once.

How to request access:

1. Open Resource Booker in the Chrome browser.

2. Sign in with your student email (NOT your username). At some point you will be redirected to the OP sign in page; at this point you enter your student username and password to complete the sign in.

3. A screen with Access Packages should open. Tick the box to accept permissions and Submit. These options are in a small box on the lower right of the screen.

4. Open your student email and wait for a notification that ‘approves’ access. This can take a few minutes. After receiving a notification, you should be able to use Resource Booker to request any of the Robertson Library group study rooms.

5. If you experience any problems, please contact IT Support.

How to make a booking:

1. Open Resource Booker in the Chrome browser. 

2. Enter your student email address. A some point you will be redirected to the OP sign-in page; enter your student user and password to sign in.

3. First time you have made a booking? You’ll be asked for additional security information to set up the two-factor authentication. The easiest and fastest method is to enter your mobile number. Enter the code you receive via txt message, into the system. Once done, you will be redirected to the Resource Booker dashboard.

4. On the Resource Booker dashboard, choose Book a Robertson Library Group Study Room.

5. On the booking schedule screen (refer to screen shot below):

• Tick the Available now option (above the calendar), to see the rooms currently available. You can also browse the rooms available by day and set a specific time for availability.

• Click the information icon to view the capacity of the room and additional facilities (e.g. datashow/projector).

• The booking form requires a title for the booking (e.g. ‘community project’), your name and student ID number (student number starting with 1000….). 

• To share the booking information with others, tick the box next to Book on behalf of someone? and enter the relevant email addresses.
