[Web4lib] simple (web?) app for organizing electronic resources?

Hi folks,

I work with an instructional designer who's looking for a simple piece 
of software to organize electronic resources -- something much simpler 
than an OPAC, and easy enough on the admin side that faculty members can 
be expected to add to it sensibly. Here's her request:

I could write something, but I have a feeling that someone has probably 
already developed a simple, effective, open-source LAMP app to do this 
sort of thing. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Ken
