Web Appointment Scheduling System (WASS)
Serge Goldstein
The Web Appointment Scheduling System (WASS), and it’s precursor, the Office Hours System, has been used for many years at Princeton to schedule faculty office hours. Last year, WASS was used to schedule over 10,000 appointments. This talk will review how WASS supports office hours and other kinds of appointment scheduling, and will also demonstrate how the new features in WASS 2.0 can be used to schedule a host of “sign-up” resources and facilities, such as rooms, equipment, and other items which are available for delimited periods of time. If you manage any resource which has limited availability and for which people want to “sign-up,” WASS may be the right tool for you.
