Hi George. Thanks for the welcome!
We are looking at our schedule right now to see if we can find a
way to send 1 or 2 people. The conference has some good content
and would be a great way to meet people.
Thanks again
Nick

I would like to introduce ourselves to the
list. I am pleased to be able to say that we will be helping to
implement Evergreen for a consortium of public libraries in
Scotland. This is the first site in the UK to choose Evergreen
so is quite a milestone for us. The consortium comprises 16
libraries at Stirling Council and 8 at East Dunbartonshire.
Both systems are migrating from Horizon. We hope the consortium
will grow as time goes by.

Apart from providing the full range of
implementation services we will be carrying out two software
developments for them. One will be to do an integration with
the Scottish National Entitlement Card. This is a single
smartcard used throughout Scotland to access a whole range of
services including bus travel, leisure centres and libraries.
This card holds a variety of personal information. With regard
to Evergreen this will involve developing the capability to read
the patron's barcode off the card and if they do not already
have a record in Evergreen it will extract their user details
from the smartcard and create a user record on the Evergreen
system.
We will also be developing a stock rotation facility which might
be of more general interest to the Evergreen community. This is
where multiple collections of books move from library to library
on a scheduled basis, staying for a set period of time at each
library before being automatically moved on according to
predefined rotas. This is all aimed at making the stock work
harder and refresh the collections at all of the libraries on
the rota.
We have already had some great support from Equinox and are
looking forward to working on this exciting project.
Nick
