Hi Melissa, Just wanted to point you to some blogs to get you started on general information about Evergreen (mostly from the systems side): http://open-ils.org/blog/ http://www.coffeecode.net/categories/17-Evergreen http://esilibrary.com/blog/?cat=9
You might also look at Marshall Breeding's Library Technology Report which UNT may have (sometimes cataloged as a serial): http://www.techsource.ala.org/ltr/next-generation-library-catalogs.html You can also find some information directly from consortia: http://www.georgialibraries.org/lib/pines/ (Evergreen PINES at Georgia Public Libraries) http://sitka.bclibraries.ca/ SITKA (formerly BC Pines) -- includes academic libraries http://www.mlcnet.org/evergreen/ (Michigan Evergreen) You might also identify particular individuals blogging from those libraries (beyond the systems folks above). If you don't get much response, consider doing a comparison of OPAC interfaces, or installing Evergreen yourself to see how that goes. Do you plan to share this information with the community in some format? What's your deadline/schedule? -Jodi Jodi Schneider Science Library Specialist Amherst College 413-542-2076 >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On >Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Thursday, April 24, 2008 11:05 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Library Student with class project > >Good Morning, > >My name is Melissa Strickland and I am a student at the University of >North Texas School of Library and Information Science.
