Hello-
I am conducting a case study between a proprietary ILS (Polaris) and an open source ILS (Evergreen) regarding electronic resource management in the public library. I'd like to know if any Evergreen public libraries use Evergreen (including add-ons) to manage database subscriptions and findability for patrons. I plan to compare the two systems and their roles in managing electronic resources. I am finding that public libraries will often make their eBooks and eAudiobooks findable in the ILS, but patrons must access the electronic databases separately to discover the library's electronic journal holdings. I am hoping to find examples of public libraries that use their ILS and associated add-ons to make electronic journals holdings searchable in the catalog. Please email me at [email protected] or [email protected] if you can help. Thanks in advance- Tracy McPeck Library Services Technician III, Youth Services Central Community Library 8601 Mathis Avenue Manassas, VA 20110 Prince William County Public Library System <http://www.pwcgov.org/government/dept/library/Pages/default.aspx>
