I have been trying to expand a web-based chemical inventory system
(Vertere), complete with bar code capability;  it currently captures
approximately 40% of the chemicals on campus.  If you could oblige me
with answers to the following, I would appreciate it:

1.  Is there a mandatory, web-based chemical inventory system in place
at your institution?

2.  If yes to (1), is it place due to a compliance initiative?  Or, is
it in place due to a pro-active administration decision?

3.  If you are willing to share-  whose system are you using?

4.  How many FTE's are required to run it? How many PT students?

5.  Is it run by EH & S, or by departments?

6.  Do you have a dedicated vehicle which delivers chemicals to
individual researchers?

Thanks in advance,
