It is being used by many libraries to maintain their repository of books. In your case, I strongly suggest you give it a try. Koha gives you many tools to manage and search your books library. It can also talk to other libraries to import the book's identification information (MARC21 record?). I am sure there are other tools to manage a library, but I liked Koha since it is free, open source, standards complaint and is being actively developed. Koha can be administered via a web browser from any computer as long as the Koha server you install on is also connected to the internet. BTW, what OS and computer setup are you using? > My other purpose is to handle bibliographies for papers that I need to > write for classes.

So it looks like you should maintain your library books' repository on Koha. You browse your library and also administrator Koha via a web interface. So once you have your library books in Koha, you can search for them from Koha via Firefox and Zotero can interact with Firefox to put that as a biblio. item in the documents you may be preparing.
