> I don't want to discourage you from looking at Koha or Evergreen, but both systems would require your staff / volunteers to work in MARC21-based environment, which IMHO may be a big barrier for a small volunteer-driven library looking at adopting a Koha or EG solution.

Though I believe with Koha the record editor has labelled fields, so
you could stick with Title and Author for simplistic cataloging (or
with Evergreen, just remember 245 = title and 100 = author).  I know
that would horrify a cataloger versed in MARC, though, and you'd be
losing subject headings, record types, etc.
