I'm trying to address the original question. I appreciate that you have your own perspective but addressing the issue at hand requires looking at it in context of the person asking the question, not your background and your resources. Nor mine. I've made several inferences from his question. Re

You might be able to run Evergreen as a virtual machine on your windows box - I would use VirtualBox. Just make sure to have a rigorous backup regimen. On Sun, Jan 18, 2015 at 8:51 AM, Yunus wrote: > Dear Ben, > > May test OpenBiblio interface. > > Yunus > > On Sun, Jan 18, 2015 at 2:25 AM, Ben

Hello All, I volunteer for a tiny library that is growing. At this point we're looking for a way to manage our check-outs/returns some way more efficient than paper and pencil. Evergreen seems like it could be a good solution for us, however we are not able to afford a server at this point nor a
