LeeAnn:
At Principia College we use a system called Aristotle by Sergeant Laboratories  
(http://provecompliance.com/). The system consists of an appliance that sit on  
your server rack and a software client that runs on the machines you want to monitor.  
We use the system to monitor what pieces of software are being used more often  
in out language lab but the system can provide you with all sorts of information  
by computer, user, etc. It is a very comprehensive system and I would recommend  
it. It is also pretty simple to setup sine it is an appliance you just plug it  
in give it an IP address and the client takes care of the rest. All updates are  
done by the company so you don't even have to worry about that. We have been running  
it from 2.5 years now and it works great. The client works on PC, MAC and Linux  
so you can also use the system to monitor other labs or systems in your campus  
as well.

Let me know if you have any questions
