Huntingburg (Ind.) Public Library Becomes 28th Evergreen Indiana Library
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Norcross, GA — June 22, 2009

Huntingburg Public Library has gone live with Evergreen, the consortial-quality open-source library automation software. 28 libraries are now live on Evergreen Indiana, a shared-catalog project of 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 now providing round-the-clock ongoing technical support. Alpha-G Consulting also provided support for the migration.
“Evergreen Indiana’s swift but controlled growth demonstrates Evergreen’s powerful scalability,” said Brad LaJeunesse, Equinox company president. “Indiana is already enjoying the benefits of massive-scale resource sharing.”
Huntingburg is located near the southwest corner of Indiana and is known for its beautiful downtown area and antique shops. It has been nicknamed the “Hollywood of the Midwest” because of several notable movies filmed there, including “A League of Their Own.”

About Evergreen
Evergreen is powerful, highly scalable open-source library software. While Evergreen is best known for its unique ability to meet the needs of very large, high-transaction, multi-site consortia, Evergreen also elegantly scales down to the smallest library sites.
Since its debut in September 2006 as the software powering the 270-plus libraries of the Georgia PINES consortium, Evergreen has earned acclaim and praise from users worldwide, including a Technology Collaboration Award from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Evergreen now supports hundreds of libraries of every type—public, academic, special, and school media—in 12 states and 2 countries.
