Thanks for the info, I should have been more specific that I'd prefer
something web-based.

It looks like webrary (http://www.acqualba.it/webrary) will do mostly
what I want. I'm going to have to look closer at it to see if it can
be made to generate some basic stats about usage, but so far it's the
closest match to what I'm after.
