Accommodation, B&B’s and Spare Room Websites

What is it?

• A library can allow those with accommodation to advertise to potential customers through their website. The library can take commission for providing this service. 

How does it work?

• Web pages are created by library staff for advertisers to enter information into.

• MARC 21 tags are then generated to hold all details advertisers enter including images

• A more personalised service can be provided by using an ‘accommodation finder service’ which allows users to register their details.

• Some sites provide a ‘venue portal’ which encourages venues to keep details of their accommodation, meeting rooms and images up to date.

• This venue portal allows advertisers to manage enquiries meaning that you do not need to.
