Michigan Evergreen

Kirtland Community College Library will migrate to Evergreen in January 2010, making them the first academic library in Michigan to adopt Evergreen.  Welcome to the Evergreen family!

Kirtland is working with Equinox Software, Inc., to install and implement Evergreen on the library’s local servers.  Michigan Evergreen staff Evette Atkin and Megan Dudek will train the Kirtland library staff on Evergreen OPAC, Circulation, Cataloging, and Admin modules in December 2009.

If your library is interested in migrating to Evergreen, please feel free to contact Michigan Evergreen staff – Ruth Dukelow, Evette Atkin, or Megan Dudek – for information on joining Michigan Evergreen’s shared catalog or for training options for locally-hosted installations.
