INCOLSA announced today that it has entered into an agreement with LibLime, an Athens, Ohio-based company, to offer new open-source automation solutions to INCOLSA member libraries. LibLime provides system support, migration, and customization services for open-source library systems, including both the Koha and Evergreen integrated library systems. Through its partnership with LibLime, INCOLSA will in turn be able to offer these services to its members. Koha has been in production in hundreds of libraries worldwide since early 2000, and Evergreen has received a good deal of attention lately as the foundation for the Georgia PINES resource-sharing network of 250+ public libraries.

INCOLSA and LibLime also jointly announced plans to migrate the Indiana Shared Library Catalog (ISLC) to a new, open-source Koha ZOOM integrated library system. The ISLC, which includes an art museum, the Indiana Supreme Court Library, and a number of small public and school libraries, will use the Koha ZOOM web OPAC, cataloging, circulation, acquisitions, and serials modules. ISLC's system will be hosted at INCOLSA, with system implementation and support provided by LibLime.
