TimeClock Lyte for Windows 32-bit (95/98/ME/NT/2000) $49.99
http://www.tclock.com/
Not too big, not too small. TimeClock Lyte is just right. Most employers only want employee worked times from their timeclock. However, most timeclock programs (our UNIX product included) duplicate the functions of payroll, project management, and scheduling programs. Not TimeClock Lyte. It's the right size for the right problem. However, for those who need those functions, you can enable the modules that perform them. 
See PayClerk Lyte, Schedule Lyte, and Billing Lyte for more information.

MeetingMaker.com : Resource Scheduler
Class scheduling is faster & easier with Resource Scheduler
Class scheduling and classroom scheduling with less hassle and expense.
Discover the school software used by major colleges and universities like UCLA and USC to greatly simplify class scheduling, classroom scheduling and the scheduling of lecture halls, equipment, athletic facilities and virtually any other shared resource.
Resource Scheduler is simple web-based school software that lets students, faculty and administrators do their own instant class scheduling and resource booking from any computer or PDA in any location.
With such large and geographically dispersed populations -- often located at multiple campuses -- managing resources and space can be a difficult and expensive task.
It's one of the few things that UCLA and USC can agree on: schools need to improve resource management, cut costs and make facilities scheduling and class scheduling easy for everyone. And the software to do that is Resource Scheduler v6.10 from Meeting Maker.
