Book It

The Writing Center uses an online scheduling system called Book It. This web-based program was custom built by the GVSU web development team to improve features and integrate all peer-to-peer Knowledge Market services (Writing Center, Speech Lab, Library Research Center, Digital Resource Center) with a single sign on. Below is a brief summary of the new and continuing features of Book It, as well as some resources that help illustrate how to access our services through this online platform.
