Open Source Evergreen System at Georgia PINESSubmitted by admin on Thu, 12/21/2006 - 9:38pm.
Open source is looking more and more like a practical option for integrated library systems. Here is an article about the open source Evergreen system that the Georgia Public Library Service (University System of Georgia) has developed to support their PINES network of libraries.
Evergreen powers the GPLS' network of libraries, PINES (Public Information Network for Electronic Services), consisting of 44 different public library systems in 123 counties covering almost the entire state of Georgia -- 252 member libraries in all. The system has 8.8 million items in its index and 1.6 million active cardholders. In fiscal year 2006, there were almost half a million loans made between its libraries.
GPLS is also responsible for GALILEO, which served as an early model for Indiana's INSPIRE system.
