Requirements:

* Web based.
* Quickly add books to the library via ISBN or bar code scan.
* Book search returns results with descriptions and a cover scraped from
some other part of the internet.
* Book search also returns the last known location of a book (such as
"Green Shelf" or "Book Case 8").
* Books can have a checked out status in addition to its last known
location, date of check out should be displayed.
* Users can check out books without the need to register, as in when
they check out a book it'll ask for a name and email, blank entries
should be allowed as anonymous.
* Users who leave an email address will get a reminder email with a list
of books they have checked out once a week.

After doing a search it seems like the open source solutions are
extremely over kill for these requirements or totally useless.

Input?
