To request a room, all users must log into [RoomBook](https://roombook.fas.harvard.edu/VirtualEms/) and select from My Reservation Templates which appear on the My Home page. Most users will choose a seasonal request form (Fall, January, Spring or Summer) depending on the time of year or the Academic Request form for course related events.

1. [Go to RoomBook](https://roombook.fas.harvard.edu/VirtualEms/)
2. Click on the **FAS Shield**

3. Login with your Harvard Key
4. If not already routed to Home, click the **Home** tab on the far left menu.

7. Enter the **Date and Time** of the reservation. Note: for ongoing meetings with multiple dates, click the **Recurrence** button.
8. You can create a reservation in two ways. Options A and B are **Let Me Search For A Room**. Option C is **I Know What Room I Want**. 
    1. *(Optional)* Under **Let Me Search For A Room**, you can **Add/Remove** Locations to narrow your search to a group of buildings or Filter By Area. To book space managed by the Registrar's office, choose **Views** and select **Registrar Booked Spaces**.
    2. *(Optional)* Under **Let Me Search For A Room**, you can **Add/Remove** Room Types and Features. This will immediately filter your results. Entering the **Number of People** here will immediately filter rooms that have at least that capacity. Room Types and Features list varies based on optional Areas and Facilities selections, omitting room types and/or features not found in any of the rooms within the area or building.
    3. *(Optional)* Under **I Know What Room I Want**, you can search for specific rooms by name, aka room number. For example, if you enter "110" a list will drop down of all 110 rooms, including Boyston, Sever, Northwest, and Science Center, to choose from. Once chosen it will prompt for at least **No. of Attendees**. Once entered you can **Add Room**, and the room, if available, will be added to your reservation.
