I am looking for a simple and inexpensive means of making our library catalog searchable on the Web. Ideally, this would be linked to our church Web page.

we had a recent thread on this subject not long ago. do you have your collection on a computer or do you handle everything with paper? if you have it on a computer, check with whichever program you use. most of them either come with that ability or give you the option to buy a separate add-on module. we use ResourceMate, and i think the add-on for that feature was only $100 or so.
The Library Thing is a terrific way to catalog books. I'm amazed at the ease of it. According to the site, you can only add up to 200 books for free, and then unlimited use for a $25 "Lifetime" fee (or $10/yr). I have also added their interactive widget to our church library blog, too. I looked at a few other sites, and they are a lot more expensive. Thanks for the tip, Ann. What a wonderful website find.
