University Media (A/V) equipment checkout/management software questions

Our EMS department is looking to update the way they track equipment checkout and preferably maintainance information as well.

Currently we have a webform that submits information to their e-mail box and it gets added to their calendar (they just use a shared exchange calendar). They are looking to expand what they are able to do and hoping that someone has a system like this that we can customize for our university. The problem with this is the only way people can see if something is available is to call them on the phone.

My question for you guys (hoping I catch some of you who work at or for universities like mine) is how do you track equipment checkout, and what (if you do use specific software solutions) do you use? The ideal solution for us would be a freeware open-source product so we can customize it as we see fit.

It took a little bit of modification, but it works great.

Does it give you the ability to "moderate" entries so that end users could see the calendar and request a specfic date/time with your admin(s) aproving the posting?
