I'm looking for a FOSS web-based library management application.

I want to manage the few books we have at our company, and I'm looking for applications that provide a simple web interface to:

Add new books.
Search for books.
(Not Required) Place holds on books.

My ideal would be something like Delicious Library, but web based and open source.

I've looked at Koha (which I could not install), Emilda, which seems to be a dead project (last emails are from 2006 and I could not install it) and VuFind which looks awesome but doesn't provide (or I could not find) an interface to add new records to the library.

Any suggestions?
