Background Information
The Michigan Evergreen Project is a shared catalog using the Evergreen 
Open-Source Integrated Library System (ILS) software, facilitated by the 
Midwest Collaborative for Library Services (MCLS) and housed on servers at 
the Grand Rapids Public Library (GRPL).
The MeLCat Statewide Catalog is a centralized union catalog with 
up-to-date holdings from all participating libraries. Library 
participation is voluntary, and holdings are updated frequently.
Goals for NCIP Development
1.      Make the Michigan Evergreen open-source integrated library system 
(ILS) software interoperable via NCIP with MeLCat
2.      Eliminate the requirements for MeLCat dual check out and dual 
check in for Evergreen libraries, cutting circulation library staff time 
in half for MeLCat processing.
3.      Eliminate the need for libraries to export patron data to the 
MeLCat DCB server.
