From the top-left set of Apps Links, click on Calendar (#1 above, red rectangle). This will open a new tab or window and display your calendar.

In the upper left section of your calendar, click the large, red "Create" button (#1 above, blue rectangle) to begin creating a new event.

On the "Event Details" screen (pictured above), complete the relevant items as follows:

• Add an Event Title (#1 above)
• Set the Event Date and Times (#2 above); PLEASE be specific with times. If you are creating this for a specific class, please refer to your bell schedule and put exact times of the class. This is extremely important so that someone else is not "denied" access to the resource incorrectly. For example, if your class ends at 10:23 but you reserve a resource until 10:30 and then someone else tries to reserve the resource for their next class which starts at 10:28, their request will be declined as their "appears" to be a conflict or overlap with your class. Please be considerate of everyone by being specific with your reservation times.
• Do NOT indicate "WHERE" at this time.
• Add an Event Description (#3 above) if desired
• Set any Event Reminders (#4 above) as desired
• Set your Availablility and Privacy preferences (#5 above)

Before saving your event, you need to invite the resource...on the right side, click the grey "Rooms, etc." link (#6 above, red rectangle)

After clicking the "Rooms, etc." link in the previous step, you will see a list of the available resources. Note, this is NOT all the resouces. Google has simply hidden those that are NOT available to you for the date & time of your event (if there is even a 1 minute overlap with another event, the resource will NOT be available; thus the reason / please above to be specific with your times.)

Scroll through the list of "resources" to locate the desired one and click the blue add link (red rectangle) next to it to "invite" it to your event.

After clicking the add link next to a resource, 2 things happen:

1. Google Calendar autofills the "WHERE" for you with the name of the resource (#1 above)
2. Google Calendar autoadds the resource to your list of Guests (#2 above)

If you don't see the "resource" you desire, you may UNCHECK the box (#1 above) next to Show only available to view all resources. Resources with a red X (#2 above) next to them have a schedule conflict due to your event's date & time.

For example, if I am trying to reserve the "Manila LRC Secondary IT Room," you will notice that it is unavailable.

In order to see if there is another day it might be available, I can continue to "add" it and then "Find a time" that it is free. To do this

• Click the blue add link next to the resource
• Click the grey find a time link (#3 above)
• Continue to the next step

After clickin the "Find a time" link, your screen will change slightly to reveal a day view of your calenar and the resource's "calendar" or availability. As you can see above, the date and time I have selected (12/2 12:51 - 1:37 - indicated by the dotted blue/white rectangle with diagonal scripes) is in conflict with another event using the IT Room (blue calendar).

At this point, I have several options:

• Pick a different date, using the date field - #1 above
• Use the "navigation" buttons (#2 above, blue rectangle) to locate another day for which the desired resource is available
• I may also opt to show a week view of the calendars (#3 above)

Having used the "navigation" buttons to advance to the next day, you will notice above that for 12:51pm - 1:37pm the IT Room is available (#1 above) indicated by the fact that no appointments appear in it's "calendar."

Having observed this, I will then use the "date" field (#2 above) to change my EVENT date to 12/3...

After changing the date, noice that the dotted blue/white rectangle (indicating my event) now appears...and is NOT overlapping any other events.

I can now be confident that my reservation will be accepted.

With all the details entered and a resource "invited," click the large red SAVE button (#1 above) at the top to save your event.

NOTE: If you invited other guests, you may be prompted to "SEND" the invitations. Be sure to click SEND (not shown) to send the Meeting Invitation to the invited guests.

After saving your Event, you will be taken back to your calendar. 2 things to note:

1. A yellow rectangle will confirm that your event was added to your calendar (#1, blue rectangle above)
2. You will see your event on your calendar (#2 above)

To confirm that your "reservation" has been Accepted, you can return to the EVENT DETAILS screen (by clicking on our event in your Calendar) and checking the "Guests" section (blue rectangle above).

• If the invited resources has a checkmark next to it (#1 above), then your reservation was accepted.
• If your event has a circle with a line through it (not pictured), then it was declined.
