Alexander Street Partners With Equinox Software to Enhance Evergreen
Alexander Street Press sponsored Georgia-based Equinox Software, Inc. in the development of new enhancements to its Evergreen Open Source ILS library software. The sponsored development project will build onto the existing ILS in two phases. The first phase includes creating enhancements to date-sensitive bibliographic searches and MARC record output. The second phase involves developing new functionality for the overlay of existing records. The end result will be an updated software system that enables increased efficiency and accuracy of record-keeping for thousands of librarians worldwide.Equinox is recognized as a leader in Evergreen support, migrations, and software development. Evergreen, which launched in 2006, is a highly-scalable, open source integrated library system (ILS) that helps library patrons locate materials, and aids libraries of all sizes in managing, cataloging, and circulating those materials. The software is currently in use in more than 1,000 libraries globally. The project is expected to conclude in March 2013 and will be included in the forthcoming release of Evergreen following community review. Source: Alexander Street Press
