[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] ***SPAM*** RE: Open-ils-general Digest, Vol 100, Issue 12

[Prokrym, Tatiana H]

NC Cardinal meets the requirements.  We've had several library systems migrate from Sirsi. One of our library systems is heavily involved in Acquisitions/EDI and we've recently put quite a bit of money towards acquisition enhancements.  We resource share almost all item types, share our patrons, our title records, etc.  We have municipal, county, and regional systems (multiple county systems) representation within our consortium.  I can send a fact sheet for circs, transits counts if interested.

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

The San Joaquin Valley Library System, a 10-member 110 branch public library system, intends to migrate from SirsiDynix Horizon to Evergreen in late 2015.  Before we issue an RFP for migration and support, we would like to visit a consortium using Evergreen that is as similar to us as possible*. We'd bring 5-6 people for 1-2 days in February 2015. If you are sort of like us and would be willing to have us look over your shoulder asking questions in circ/cat/acq, please contact me off list.

*By "similar to us" we mean

*         Participating libraries include at least one multi-branch library system (our largest has 34 branches)

*         Using automation of acquisitions to the fullest extent possible

*         Use of pre-processing vendors by multiple libraries

*         Shared patron and bib/item database

*         Open lending to other member's borrowers both in person and via requests

*         High hold volume

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.
