Equipment inventory

["Lorna J. McCloud" <lmccloud@TJHSST.VAK12ED.EDU>]

Here's another "nuts and bolts question".  My secretary and I
are trying to decide how to do our equipment inventory/files,
no that we have Follett Circ/Cat.

Originally, the librarian had a shelf list of cards for each
piece, but she also barcoded most of them and put them on the
system.  Then, a new librarian came along (me).  We want to
streamline the process.  I see no need for a computer database
and a shelflist.

So, what's the most streamlined way?  I don't mind one big
onetime job, if I need to enter stuff into the computer and do
away with the cards completely.  Is it better to have a
separate computers/equipment DB, or to include this stuff as
part of the collection on the catalog (my preference, I
think).  I do have an office computer, with WP and windows, etc
on it.

If there is enough interest, I will compile a HIT list.

Thanks,
