(1 Rating)
This is the project site for Evergreen, highly-scalable software for libraries that helps library patrons find library materials, and helps libraries manage, catalog, and circulate those materials, no matter how large or complex the libraries. The Evergreen Project develops an open-source ILS (integrated library system) used by more than 2,000 libraries around the world. The software, also called Evergreen, is used by libraries to provide their public catalog interface as well as to manage back-of-house operations such as circulation (checkouts and check-ins), acquisition of library materials, and (particularly in the case of Evergreen) sharing resources among groups of libraries. Evergreen depends on the following technologies Perl, C, JavaScript, XML, XPath, XSLT, XMPP, OpenSRF, Apache, mod_perl, and PostgreSQL. The latest stable release of a supported Linux distribution is recommended for an Evergreen installation.

    "Amazing database and sharing management"

    Posted 2021-09-14

    Pros: Being accessible between global libraries is an amazing tool, and the sharing of MARCs and interlibrary loans is something that cannot be beat.

    Cons: Expensive to access, they failed to properly handle our billing and has led to a long financial battle.

    Overall: Despite our struggles, this is such an invaluable tool at our disposal. They constantly fulfill our needs and help us get materials that we'd never have access to personally.
