Evergreen Indiana Adds More Libraries, Goes Double Digits
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Norcross, GA – December 9, 2008
The Evergreen Indiana shared catalog has grown to fourteen libraries, now that Jennings County, Brownstown, Melton, Butler, and Odon Winklepleck Public Libraries have migrated to Evergreen, the consortial-quality open-source library automation software. These five libraries join nine public library systems already part of this consortial catalog administered by the Indiana State Library.
Equinox Software, Inc., the support and development company established by the original Evergreen developers, provided bumper-to-bumper support for the migrations and is providing round-the-clock ongoing technical support for the shared Evergreen Indiana catalog.
Carol Thornton-Anderson, Melton Public Library Director, said, “I am thrilled to be offering the residents of our small rural community access to a consortium with functionality from their home computers.” Mary Hougland, Director of Jennings Public Library, added, "Patrons will find Evergreen easy to use and will like the new features, including images of book covers, the ease of requesting items from other libraries not found in our libraries, and the pre-notification by e-mail before items are due.”

“Evergreen’s powerful scalability means that Evergreen Indiana is both a collective and individual success story,” said Brad LaJeunesse, Equinox company president. “Very few products on the market can be counted on to deliver the indexing power and industrial-strength consortial-quality functionality that make Evergreen unique among library software and ensure that Evergreen Indiana can grow as large as it needs to. Yet local libraries also benefit from appealing features such as patron bookbags, easy-to-place holds, and a friendly circulation interface. Plus these library managers can rest easy knowing they own their own data."

Jennings County Public Library is the largest of the five libraries, with 20,000 patrons and 90,000 bibliographic items. Oden Winklepleck is the smallest, with 1,164 patrons and 18,452 bibliographic items. The new online catalog for all the Indiana Evergreen Libraries can be viewed at http://evergreen.lib.in.us .
About Evergreen
Evergreen is consortial-quality, open-source library software initially developed to support Georgia PINES, a resource-sharing consortium with over 270 public libraries. Evergreen was designed from the ground up to be robust, fault-tolerant, service-oriented, and standards-based. Evergreen nimbly evolves to meet the needs of very large, high-transaction, multi-site consortia while elegantly scaling down to the smallest library sites.
The growing, multinational Evergreen development community has shepherded Evergreen through a series of releases that have further strengthened Evergreen’s consortial qualities while adding popular and useful functionality.
From its debut in September 2006, Evergreen has earned acclaim and praise from users worldwide. Evergreen has received significant attention, including a Technology Collaboration Award from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Additional Evergreen implementations include consortial projects such as Michigan Evergreen and British Columbia SITKA, and libraries such as Kent County Public Library in Maryland, Marshall Public Library in Missouri, and the University of Prince Edward Island.

Founded by the original Evergreen designers and developers, Equinox Software is a growing team of skilled developers and other professionals who provide comprehensive support for Evergreen, the consortial-quality, open source Integrated Library System (ILS).

PROVO, UT, December 1, 2008 – SirsiDynix, the global leader in strategic technology solutions for libraries, announces the release of SirsiDynix Docutek ERes® 5.5.1. This market-leading product is the original stand-alone, web-based electronic reserves system that over 400 libraries use to offer students around-the-clock access to reserve materials through web-enabled course reserves.

ERes 5.5.1 further enhances this powerful product by incorporating many core product changes and also offering two highly desired modules:

• The new Reserve Workflow module helps faculty members easily submit reserve requests. In addition, the module helps library staff track and fill requests faster, easier, and better.

• The Blackboard module integrates tasks such as adding content to Blackboard course areas, accessing ERes documents in Blackboard, and importing courses and users into ERes from Blackboard.

The ERes 5.5.1 upgrade offers additional product benefits, such as:

• Time Savings: Quickly clone courses, use department pick lists and defaults, import CSV data for instructors and accounts, manage courses centrally, upload and download files in bulk—even zip files.

• Ease of Use: Use “Quickdates” dropdowns from multiple locations, edit templates and publisher letters simply within ERes, use new account group properties to check costs and handle permissions, and enjoy all new easy-to-use help pages.

• Enhanced Functionality: Export all data from courses and accounts, enjoy enhanced alerts plus email security, and choose from more reports, including cost versus usage, unused documents, and documents on reserve sorted by publisher, department, instructor, or course.

Alan Cornish, Head of Library Systems at Washington State University Libraries explained, “Through the use of the ERes Reserve Workflow module, we will be able to continue library management of the electronic reserves program and, at the same time, enable our research faculty to directly submit book and article requests. I believe this will reduce the amount of time it takes for materials to be placed on reserve by the library and will reduce the likelihood of confusion between faculty members and library staff. It will enable us to achieve what we want: an integrated workflow, with research faculty submitting requests and the library performing the processing and copyright management tasks, all within ERes.”

Gary Rautenstrauch, SirsiDynix CEO, said “Our customers have achieved much success through their use of ERes, and we are pleased to extend their capabilities with this new release. ERes 5.5.1 helps libraries effectively manage their course reserves with time savings, ease of use and deep functionality. We are especially pleased that ERes 5.5.1 released on time and with the enhancements promised in the ERes product roadmap. We thank our beta test sites, our developers and our customers for helping us offer this new, enhanced solution to further fill the needs of each academic library reserve program.”

For a private demo or further information, feel free to contact a friendly SirsiDynix sales professional at 1-800-288-8020, ext. 1 or sales@sirsidynix.com. Release notes have also been provided for existing ERes customers at http://www.docutek.com/support/support_eres.html.
