[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Library Student with class project

[Jodi Schneider]

Hi Melissa,

Just wanted to point you to some blogs to get you started on general
information about Evergreen (mostly from the systems side):
http://open-ils.org/blog/
http://www.coffeecode.net/categories/17-Evergreen
http://esilibrary.com/blog/?cat=9

You might also look at Marshall Breeding's Library Technology Report
which UNT may have (sometimes cataloged as a serial):
http://www.techsource.ala.org/ltr/next-generation-library-catalogs.html

You can also find some information directly from consortia:

http://www.georgialibraries.org/lib/pines/   (Evergreen PINES at Georgia
Public Libraries)
http://sitka.bclibraries.ca/ SITKA (formerly BC Pines) -- includes
academic libraries
http://www.mlcnet.org/evergreen/ (Michigan Evergreen)

You might also identify particular individuals blogging from those
libraries (beyond the systems folks above).

If you don't get much response, consider doing a comparison of OPAC
interfaces, or installing Evergreen yourself to see how that goes.

Do you plan to share this information with the community in some format?
What's your deadline/schedule?

-Jodi
