Overview

This course covers the day to day duties of an inventory contact - everything from ordering, tagging, and reporting equipment, to disposal of equipment.  It also provides tools and tips for inventory contacts to do their job successfully.

The purpose of the quiz is to introduce the inventory contact to the Equipment Inventory website and equipment policies - and make sure he/she knows where to find the information needed to manage a department’s inventory. Not every question will have an easy-to-find answer; some equipment issues cannot be answered with a simple phrase, and it mat be necessary to look on the site and  read a policy all the way through before knowing what the correct answer will be for a given situation


Target Audience

This course is strongly encouraged for each departmental inventory contact, departmental administrators, and individuals who will be assisting or backing up the inventory contact.
