The UW-Madison Digitial Media Center (which just closed, but that is a
different issue) had lots of equipment for checkout, including (for
example) video cameras, tripods, etc.
They bar-coded *everything* (even USB cables, all the parts of the
tripod, the carrying cases, etc) and scanned them out and in, and made
the recipient sign (on a touch screen) for it. I think they also made
some bundles or chacklists to assemble bundles, so that when I went to
pick up equipment, I said I needed a camera, mic and tripod, they also
had all the accessories ready.

At $WORK we have shared equipment (laptops, projectors, external drives,
etc.) available on loan to staff, grad students, postdocs and faculty
(~65 people).
We've had on-going issues with ensuring that the equipment is complete
and ready for use -- most often things like items being returned missing
cables, chargers, and peripherals.
I'm very interested in learning about any policies or mechanisms you
use to manage similar loaner equipment.
Thanks,
Mark
