Tuesday, January 8. 2008

My employer, Laurentian University, issued a press release today announcing that we have selected Evergreen as our future library system. I wrote more about this on the Evergreen blog, but what I didn't say was ... yay!

We still have a long road ahead of us, but knowing that we'll be migrating to a system that I can poke with a sharp stick and make it do my bidding goes a long way towards making me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I predict that we'll see a few more announcements from universities and colleges in North America joining the Evergreen development effort / adoption process in 2008. Outside of Ontario, I know about the University of Utah' s interest and interest from a New Jersey consortium of academic institutions (see session h. "Open Library Systems and NJ: From Vision to Transformation")... are there other academics who have made public statements of interest in Evergreen that I'm missing out on?

Awesome! The demo uses the Georgia Public Library Service installation of Evergreen.

Looks like a very nice system.
