IPSWICH, Mass. — June 11, 2013 — NoveList, a division of EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) is announcing a new seamless ILS integration with NoveList Select, its catalog enrichment resource. NoveList Select content is now displayed alongside library data in TLC’s (The Library Corporation) LS2 PAC. This latest announcement exhibits NoveList’s commitment to work with major vendors and systems so catalog users will find information where they need it, when they need it.

LS2 PAC Product Owner Dianne Coan explains the benefit of this integration for patrons. "The modern design of our LS2 PAC married with the rich data from NoveList equals a superior user experience for our librarians' patrons. Our users not only find what they're looking for quickly, but they can also explore the seamless display of reviews, series information, and recommended authors and titles."

NoveList Select enables libraries to add rich reader-focused features including: reading recommendations, series information, events, reviews and book jackets to enrich their catalog and make it a tool for readers to discover great books. NoveList Select works with many major vendors and systems to ensure the content is seamlessly integrated into a library’s catalog. For customers that already have LS2 PAC and NoveList Select, the connection is very easy and no extra charge.

Vice President of NoveList, Duncan Smith, says working with TLC these last 10 years has helped more libraries reach their readers. “Our goal is to put expert reading recommendations and other expanded content into the place where it is most visible to library patrons and now libraries with LS2 PAC as their catalog solution can easily integrate the rich content of NoveList Select into their most frequently consulted resource—the catalog.”

Rodgers Memorial Public Library Chooses Equinox and Goes Live on Evergreen

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

The George H. and Ella M. Rodgers Memorial Library has gone live with Evergreen open source ILS. Equinox Software provided data migration and staff training services and will continue to provide ongoing technical support for the library’s Evergreen installation. The new online catalog for the library can be viewed at https://evergreen.rodgerslibrary.org.

Located in Hudson, New Hampshire, the library was constructed in 2009 through a generous donation by Alvin and G. Phillip Rodgers in memory of their parents. The library serves the community of Hudson, NH, a town of 24,000 people about 50 miles north of Boston. 10,300 patron and 61, 000 bibliographic titles were migrated to the new ILS.

Shae Tetterton, Equinox Project Manager, says, “The folks at Rodgers were a pleasure to work with, always on top of things and working hard to make this transition successful for their staff. I'm so pleased to have them as part of our Evergreen community.”

Charlie Matthews, Director of Rodgers Memorial Library, says, “As an open source system, Evergreen allows us to extend beyond reliance on a single vendor to both reduce costs and benefit from the collaborative efforts of a dedicated and talented group of developers. We are the second New Hampshire library system to move to the Evergreen system.”
