I wasn't referrring to IIAB or LibraryBox, but they're very interesting and I'll learn more. Do you know if anyone has used either of these systems to run a local instance of PubMed? The NLM's applications require a lot of higher-end command-line knowledge to use. I'm interested if anyone has produced an offline system for searching Pubmed that is user friendly and suitable for resource-austere settings.
