What you are doing in these tutorials is finding a room calendar for a specific room in ATRB and then adding the calendar to your list of calendars. That way you can view the calendar easily to see when times are available.
To actually make a reservation create an appointment on your calendar and then invite the room (example: ATRB 2001) as an attendee. The Location will then populate with the room.
