It is relatively easy to implement this yourself, with three tables: one for people (you may already have this), one with a record for each folder, and one for the check-outs. It may be better to to it yourself, since it integrates into the remainder of your system. Tell me if you need further assistance.
>But, I'm thinking, are they really gonna do all this?
That is the real problem, of course.
