Dave, et al.:

We have a number of group study rooms in the UO Libraries, a mix of first-come/first-served and reservable.  We have one room configured as a presentation practice facility, and are in the process of adding LCD wall displays to the other rooms. For more information see 
http://library.uoregon.edu/instruct/classrooms/calindex.html

Students self-book the reservable rooms with the materials booking module of the library ILS (Innovative Interfaces). The library patron database is synched with Banner, so no separate login/authentication system is required. To see how this process works from the user side, go to 
http://library.uoregon.edu/acs_svc/selfbook_studyrooms.html

All of the study rooms are extremely popular and students seem to learn the booking routine without difficulty. This being said, I would like to see a simpler interface at some point. Hope this helps!
