I just did this from scratch and used TechAtlas
(http://webjunction.techatlas.org/tools/). This is part of Webjunction and
I found it to be an excellent way to take inventory and to run reports, etc.
It is also free to libraries.

Subject: [NGC4LIB] Creating a inventory of computer hardware
Hello,
I am beginning an inventory of our library's computer hardware collection
from the last six years. Has anyone worked on a similar project? If so,
would you be willing to share your experience and advice?
Our extant computer inventory lists are in Excel, although we have two
Access databases also. I think Access is the better program for an
inventory project. I will need to merge these lists, and decide what fields
of information to retain, and what to discard. If you need further
information, please let me know.
I appreciate your help!
Sincerely,
Maria Vagianos
