Enhancements to Create Reservations including ability to list or show a calendar of the resource availability when making the booking

Use Case = Jane Booker, a circulation assistant in the library, needs to be able to see what the current reservations are on a resource so that she can efficiently determine what day and time to select when creating a new reservation. When Student John J. Reservation phones to request to book a laptop, currently, Jane Booker has to ‘guess’ what days and times will work; the only indicator is whether the day/time stamp is red or not once she selects her dates and times. Jane Booker gets very frustrated. Instead, she would like to see a calendar display with greyed out times and days that show future bookings on the resource, so she can quickly determine when the resource is free. A columned list of future bookings (with option to select time range) would also help Jane.
