[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Site visit to Evergreen consortium

[Rogan Hamby]

SCLENDS is a 20 member, 85 branch library.  Our largest member is probably
a fair bit smaller than your largest though.  :)

We are a mixed bag as we were separate libraries before we moved to
Evergreen including a handful of Horizon libraries and one Unicorn
library.  That was five years ago and we haven't looked back.
