Hi Jessica,
I also have a small library that I am starting to catalog using
TinyCat. It's basically a small-scale OPAC for libraries under 20,000 volumes and it runs based on LibraryThing which is used for cataloging home libraries. It's not free, but it's very affordable. It would only cost you $10/month. The copy cataloging is extremely simple to use. You just do an ISBN search and then click on the title to add it to your catalog. If you need to do any original cataloging, you can manually add a new title. I'm still getting to know it, but so far I like how easy it is to assign volunteers to do simple copy cataloging.
Good luck!

Hi everyone!
I was wondering that free, open-source library management software other museums/cultural institutions would recommend. We have a small library of books (about 200) relating to the artists and objects in our collection that we would like to make accessible to the public.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
