Evergreen Open ILS in Canada
June 4, 2009 Leave a Comment
University of Windsor, Algoma University, and Laurentian University have come up on their Open Source ILS based on Evergreen.
UPEI has been using Evergreen for about a year now. There’s also the BC Pines project that started as a pilot in 2007 and is now live as Sitka with the BC Libraries Cooperative.
Univ of Windsor, Algoma University, and Laurentian University, however, weren’t going to go live with Evergreen until they had developed an Acquisitions module for Evergreen….so, some follow-ups will be needed on that front.
So far, the University of Winnipeg Evergreen pilot project (aka Spruce) (involving Manitoba Public Library Services and South Central Regional Library) is being actively used by South Central Regional Library (Morden, Winkler, and Altona branch libraries) since the end of April 27, 2009. We are, however, hoping to grow our pilot soon to include others.
