I don't know Follet, but I do know that "copy cataloguing" with Koha
is fairly easy, have a look at the section called "Using Z39.50 for
Copy Cataloging" at the bottom of this page:
http://koha.org/documentation/manual/3.2/cataloging/adding-records

As long as you have access to Z39.50 servers with records that match
what you want to catalogue, it couldn't be much easier! ;-)
