[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] 226 subscribers

[Grace Liu]

Hope the introduction is still going on. I'm Grace Liu, a systems librarian in a Canadian academic library. Before library school, I'd been a DBAdmin in a securities company for many years. At that time, under that kind of intense environment, nobody thought of open source. Library is a shared world where open source probably is a good fit. I would like to look into the Evergreen system from both as a librarian and an engineer.
