[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen as Media Resource Management Tool?

[Michael Ambrosino]

Tara,

Our Media Resource Center (or commonly called "The Cage") currently supports
a home grown solution that allows for AV checkout, inventory and reservation
services. The service allows students and faculty to reserve an checkout a
wide variety of cameras, AV carts, cables, lights and computer equipment.
The idea of using Evergreen is that we could collapse the service into a
Library services mechanisms.

Sincerely,

Michael Ambrosino
