Starting June 3rd, we will be switching our tracking and calendar application to BookitLab.
To reserve instrument time on June 3rd or after please log in to BookitLab here. Please log in by selecting the SSO Login and using your NetID and active directory password (not your IGB password). If you are planning to use instrument time this week, please use the old calendar system here.
A basic guide for using BookitLab is available here. If you have difficulty logging in or accessing your account please contact Austin at ajcypher@illinois.edu
