Well, Readerware http://www.readerware.com isn't free or open source,
but it's pretty reasonably priced, it comes in versions for multiple
OSes (Linux, Windows, Palm, Mac OS X), and it's a pretty darn nice
piece of software. Since it's specifically designed for library and
inventory use, it should suit your purposes pretty well, I would
think. I haven't tried it out in a multi-OS situation since I just use
it on a Windows PC at home for cataloguing my personal book, music,
and video collections, but I've been very satisfied with it under
those circumstances, and I know it's received a number of awards.
