It's just a matter of production interest, really. I'd be happy to work with LT on tight integration with Evergreen, and judging by the code quality of both projects, it should be next to trivia. That being said, there are somethings that Evergreen and LTFL both do today (oISBN and thingISBN, for instance) and some features planned for Evergreen that LTFL already does. I think there are ways that even the competing features can cooperate, all to the patrons' and staff members' benefit. --miker > > Jon Forest > Library Automation Manager > Maine InfoNet > http://www.maine.gov/infonet > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > 207-557-0072 > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Deb Bergeron > Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 5:23 PM > To: Valerie Piechocki > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen and LTFL > > Valerie, > > I'm so sorry--It's LibraryThing For Libraries. > http://www.librarything.com/forlibraries/ > > Here's a blurb from the website: > > > > * Give your patrons exciting new content, including > recommendations and tag clouds. > * Let your patrons take part, with reviews, ratings and tags.
