What is Evergreen ILS?
Welcome to the Evergreen project site, a dynamic and scalable software solution specifically crafted for libraries that aids patrons in finding library resources while empowering libraries to efficiently manage, catalog, and circulate their materials, irrespective of their size or complexity. The Evergreen Project aims to develop an open-source integrated library system (ILS) that serves over 2,000 libraries around the globe. This software, known as Evergreen, features a public catalog interface tailored for libraries, while also optimizing crucial back-end operations such as circulation, including the processes of checkouts and returns, acquiring new materials, and enabling resource sharing between various library networks. Evergreen's capabilities are underpinned by a wide range of technologies such as Perl, C, JavaScript, XML, XPath, XSLT, XMPP, OpenSRF, Apache, mod_perl, and PostgreSQL. For those interested in deploying Evergreen, it is recommended to utilize the latest stable release of a compatible Linux distribution, which will ensure the best performance and support. This comprehensive platform not only enhances the overall experience for library patrons but also markedly boosts the operational efficiency of libraries, making it an invaluable asset in today's information-rich environment. As libraries continue to evolve, Evergreen stands ready to adapt and meet their diverse needs, signaling a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation in library services.

Open Source ILS that works well
Date: Sep 13 2021SummaryILS are steep learning curves, so the cons of this don't hold it back in any meaningful way. The robust open source abilities carry it far.
PositiveHaving a web-based ILS means that it can be accessed by our staff anywhere on any system. This makes deployment incredibly easy, MARC work easy, and any work out in the stacks a breeze. It is a robust and powerful ILS that has open source functionality for deep customization.
NegativeThe ability to pull reports is an incredibly chaotic system that seems unnecessarily busy. Back end is incredibly robust, but finding the features you need can be difficult.
