Brought to You From the Department of CS50

The same people that brought you shuttle boy—before the weird call in thing—rolled out a new website HarvardMaps in conjunction with the Undergraduate Council today. The site, part of the CS 50 network and created by CS 50 Professor David Malan, is an attempt by the UC to begin streamlining room reservation systems in all the Undergraduate Houses and other locations across campus. “Until today, there’s been no centralized place to find room reservation information for different buildings.” wrote Eric Hysen ’11, a UC rep and one of the compliers of the program. “We hope this will begin making it easier for students and student groups to reserve rooms for their events.” He added, “We’ll be working to expand on this with a searchable database of rooms on campus…our long term goal is a fully online, centralized reservation system for all buildings.” Follow the jump for more on how the site works.
