I was thinking Access too, since it is common. You can also get a free
reader from Big Billy and anyone can accesss and read the database. Plus,
they can download it to a laptop and take it to events. This makes it more
usable than and online application.
Problem is, I'm not the greatest database maker in the world, so I would
definitely need some help designing it. After that we'd just need to get
people together to volunteer to upload all the information.

I had the idea of scanning the books and making a virtual copy of the
library for distribution.

Just want to point out this is a bad idea. It is copyright
infringement. I know that in some cases the books just are not there,
in which case we should contact the publisher and get permission in
writing for this type of distribution.
snip
I also had the ridiculously whacked out idea of making a simple
database that would contain all the names and references for easy
search and reference. This would take MUCH longer, probably years, and
would require some help. Anyone else think this a useful, if insane
idea?
snip
On the other hand, redistribution of information and acknowleging
sources is legal, honorable and expands intellectual property. I like
it much better. What should be the base - Microsoft access is the most
common type of database out there, or would we like our own?
