At NC State we use TimeTrade. TimeTrade is a web-based program that resides
on their servers, not yours. We've been using it for two years or so now
and we have been pleased with it.  It is a service that you need to pay for
and is priced by the number of "resources" that you have. In your case (and
ours) the resources are the student workers.

It's a very good program with a lot of features. It is geared towards
allowing students to sign up for appointments themselves (meaning the
people who need help can sign up based on technician availability), but we
have not used it like that yet. We use it for technicians to schedule
appointments for themselves and other techs.  I'm happy to provide more
info if anyone is interested.

Good luck,
Carrie
