Michigan Evergreen

The pilot group for the Michigan Evergreen project will be finalized by February 1.  Contracts have been sent to libraries who have indicated interest in joining the pilot. If your library is interested in joining the pilot and if you have not yet sent in your data and/or requested a contract, please email Evette Atkin (atkine@mlcnet.org).

We plan to begin data conversion and migration after February, with pilot libraries going live in late spring.  After the initial pilot group, the Michigan Evergreen project will be opened to other Michigan libraries to join.

Congratulations to Georgia! And a big “thank you” for making Evergreen available to the rest of us via open source!
