I think "books" may have thrown everyone for a loop.  These are not
physical books, but rather complete scanned collections that would be
available for search and reference online.  One of the most important
features required would be keeping track of how often each book was
referenced and when.  Time of day, days of week, etc.  This is why I was
looking into how to construct some form of counter system that would
allow us to keep track of accesses.

Although I would love to see a robot librarian at work.  :-)
