At UMass/Amherst, we've developed an MS-Access database to manage our
electronic resources.  We designed it primarily as a staff working tool,
to provide information to staff about what users are permitted to do, any
username/password information, and more.  We have been maintaining Excel
spreadsheets to impart some of this information, as well as paper
resources, but staff members tend to rely heavily on me to provide
information (and I'm not here 24/7).  I would be glad to provide you with
more details.
