Before we issue an RFP for migration and support, we would like to visit a consortium using Evergreen that is as similar to us as possible*. We'd bring 5-6 people for 1-2 days in February 2015. If you are sort of like us and would be willing to have us look over your shoulder asking questions in circ/cat/acq, please contact me off list. *By "similar to us" we mean * Participating libraries include at least one multi-branch library system (our largest has 34 branches) * Using automation of acquisitions to the fullest extent possible * Use of pre-processing vendors by multiple libraries * Shared patron and bib/item database * Open lending to other member's borrowers both in person and via requests * High hold volume *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Mary Ellen Tyckoson Library Program Manager San Joaquin Valley Library System 2420 Mariposa St, Fresno, CA 93721 559-600-6285 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
