We're curious: is there a way to set Evergreen up to flag books with a ceiling
of holds (like say 8) to notify staff that more copies need to be purchased? Or
do you need to be a programmer and use SQL or PHP to make that work?

Jill,
Because Evergreen lets you query the database using SQL, it's pretty
simple to create purchase alert lists. We run a script daily that
creates a purchase alert list for each of our member libraries. The
report is based on the ratio of number of holds to the number of copies
owned.
