Viewing/Importing a Room's Reservation Calendar
As of January 2021, Computer Science will no longer be using reserve.cs.iastate.edu for room reservations. We have moved to Outlook calendars for room reservations. Here is documentation on how to use Outlook calendars for room reservations
List of Computer Science rooms and their resource name is located at the bottom of this page
