Here at Smith College Science Center, we need a small web-based application to allow students to reserve equipment, sign up for work-shops, as well as tracking actual equipment use (log-in at time of use to indicate time spent, purpose, results, any issues). (1) Are you aware of something somewhat like this already available on the web as a service, a product, or code? Otherwise, we're considering custom development, hosting ourselves running on Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP + using MS Access for some core users to get to the collected data. App would authenticate through our LDAP server. (2) Do you know of any local firms that might be a good partner for something like this? As always, thank you to everybody on this list offering thoughtful and helpful answers. Christian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
