[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] How does the software work?

[Michael Nolan]

We're also considering switching to an open source ils, namely Evergreen.  As far as I know, no school districts have yet adopted Evergreen.  

Evergreen's catalog interface is as good as I've ever seen.  If Evergreen had a Textbook Manager component, we'd switch in a heartbeat.  We still might switch and then hope that a textbook component is developed.

I'd be curious to hear how libraries that are mainly staffed by technologically-challenged people have fared with Evergreen.  Easy to use? Difficult?  Somewhere in between?

Thanks,
