Just for a more tangible UI reference. Here's how the lovely Delicious  
Library presents objects, not just books, but music, dvds, tools,  
gadgets, clothes, anything you care to give it really. You can then  
share and browse the library meta-data with friends so you know what  
items you each have (or are willing) to share. It's more aimed at  
tracking physical objects, rather than distributing virtual objects,  
so you would use it to track who's has got what if you were running  
say, an physical XO hardware lending library. But virtual objects  
would work just as well in the UI.
