Breeding, Marshall, British Columbia launches open source Evergreen ILS Project
The open source ILS movement takes another step forward as the province of British Columbia in Canada launches an initiative to implement Evergreen. The Georgia Public Library System developed Evergreen as an open source library automation system to serve the 252 libraries in the PINES consortium. The PINES libraries migrated from SirsiDynix Unicorn to Evergreen on September 5, 2006 following a twenty-six month development process. While many other libraries have expressed interest in Evergreen, the British Columbia libraries are the first, following PINES, to formally approve and fund an implementation effort. |
