BibliOak is now live for the entire Bibliomation consortium. All 59 public libraries are up and running on Evergreen. The school libraries will start using Evergreen this school year and Bridgeport will join the Bibliomation consortium in November 2011.
BibliOak’s history:
BibliOak began as an open source project from Bibliomation, Connecticut’s largest library consortium. In preparation for Bibliomation’s migration to the Evergreen ILS, nine public libraries and three school libraries signed up to be development partners; libraries that went live on Evergreen before the larger migration. Development partner libraries provided valuable feedback on and insight to Evergreen for Bibliomation staff. These libraries formed a small consortium that was folded into the larger Bibliomation network.
