I have a library with about 300 programming books, which I would like to organize into a digital catalogue.
It should be accessible from Mac, Linux and Windows machines. A web app could work.
Any suggestion?

Personally, I'd warmly recommend either Alexandria or Tellico as they are open source, but unfortunately for Linux only. OpenBiblio and Evergreen are full-featured ILSs, that may be an overkill just to "catalog a few books". They run on a Linux server, requiring Apache and PHP/Perl. The client interface for Evergreen works natively on Windows, Mac and Linux. Library Thing is a web based book catalog, that adds the social dimension to cataloging by recommending similar books and showing people with similar reading taste. The free account lets you add ~100 titles (IIRC), the full account has no restrictions and costs either a one-time $20-55 donation, or $1-20 per year. | |||

It depends on what you want to do with the information stored in the catalogue. Personally I store my entire elibrary in Calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/ which is free and available for Windows mac and linux. It's also open source. | |||

I would recommend BookCatalog. It is a very simple java program that lets you scan books into a little database that you can sort/search through. Very easy to use with a barcode scanner (ie quecat). Also, its free. | |||
