[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** Third Party System Integration

2010-04-16 Thread Sally Fortin

Hello,

In this recent email, Repke de Vries suggested that it would be helpful 
to the community to find more information on third party applications 
and their developers.  Unbeknownst to him, my colleague, Grace Dunbar, 
and I had been discussing along similar lines!  We have written a very 
brief survey asking Evergreen users to list the products that they know 
to be compatible with the Evergreen ILS.  This survey should take 5 
minutes to complete and will be open for the next month.  Results will 
be distributed to the community.  The survey is available here:

Hope this is a helpful start!

Thanks,
Sally

Dear all

following up on a mid February discussion on this list [1] to extend  
the Outline with information aiming at Third Party Application  
developers,  I tentatively added  a new Part called Third Party  
System Integration + one Chapter titled Integrating Evergreen Data  
in Third Party Applications within it.


In a later stage some of the sections could become chapters of their  
own.


Unlike the Administration or Development part, this part of the  
Outline looks at Evergreen and  Evergreen data from the outside in  
and focusses on third party applications and their developers rather  
than Evergreen it self: these developers need to know how Evergreen  
exposes it stuff.


Any comments ?   And more importantly:  any takers for some of the  
sections ?

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen Conference, IMLS Grant Update

2010-04-16 Thread Amy Terlaga
Hi all-

 

For those of you attending next week's Evergreen conference in Grand Rapids,
think about attending Plays Well with Others, at 4pm on Thursday.

 

Here's the program description:

 

What has King County Library System been up to since they received that $1
million IMLS grant? For starters, they have formed a resource cooperative,
RSCEL (Resource and Sharing Cooperative of Evergreen Libraries). Learn how
RSCEL can assist in collaboration opportunities with other libraries, such
as Evergreen enhancements, training, and documentation. 

I'll be co-presenting with Jed Moffitt and Matt Carlson of KCLS.

 

And, in related news, Bibliomation has just been accepted as a partner in
KCLS' IMLS grant open source project:

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen Conference Program - Plays Well with Others

2010-04-16 Thread Amy Terlaga
Evergreen Conference Program--

Plays Well with Others Update



Lori Bowen Ayre, of the Galecia Group, has signed on to moderate the King
County IMLS Grant Update program at next week's Evergreen conference.

 

Lori has been very instrumental in helping King County secure this sizable
$998,556 grant.

 

A bit more about Lori and Galecia:

 

As a national consultant, Lori has worked with a wide variety of city and
county libraries as well as consortia and other organizations that support
libraries. She specializes in open source software, materials handling
technology, RFID, delivery systems, resource sharing, Internet filters,
public access computing, and emerging technologies.



 

And, p.s., I had the opportunity as an open source panelist last month at
PLA to witness Lori's excellent moderating skills.  She is not to be missed.
