[Athen] tracking of equipment loans?

[Sean J Keegan]

Hello all,

I have been doing some creative thinking and looking at different 
options to develop an inventory tracking system for assistive technology 
equipment loans.  In the past, we have done bar code labels, but are now 
exploring 2-D bar code options (QR codes, Microsoft Tag, etc) as a way 
to access information about a device.

The question I have is how are people currently tracking such loans? 
Access or Filemaker databases? Excel or Google Docs spreadsheets? 
Web-based platforms (e.g., Drupal)?  All of the above?

I have started working on a few options here, but am doing a "literature 
review" to see what others may have implemented at their institution.

Take care,
sean
