Ben, If you don’t have anyone on staff that is a trained cataloger and knows MARC formatting and other cataloging standards, Evergreen would also not be a good fit for your library. http://web.nmsu.edu/~ebosman/church/churchlib4.shtml has a list of low cost software primarily for church

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 karant...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Ben, May test OpenBiblio interface. Yunus On Sun, Jan 18, 2015 at

Hi Mark, There is a big difference between running a production system on a desktop VM and playing with it. Running Evergreen in Virtual Box is common for developers, documenters, etc And it's important for those who don't have a systems background that a VM in a server environment and

When you have quad-core PC's with 8gb of ram, the difference is not that much. I've run production VM's on my PC in a pinch and our staff never knew. What do you suggest Ben does? On Sun, Jan 18, 2015 at 11:12 AM, Rogan Hamby rogan.ha...@yclibrary.net wrote: Hi Mark, There is a big
