[Web4lib] An Analysis Of Open Source ILS Market Penetration

[Victoria Kemp]

If you are a Texas library and plan to attend TLA in April, 2008, in
Dallas TX,  there will be a program on the PINES endeavor. It is
scheduled for the Technology Showcase.	
FWIW

The opinions are my own; the library wouldn't want 'em!

Karen, I think you are dead on. I was recently at a state level meeting
with
a rep from GA Pines and saw a lot of interest from others at the
meeting.
The Pines folks have had conversations with others from all over the
world
and at that time, 19 different states. There is a great deal of interest
in
the open ILS, and Evergreen in particular. A slow moving barge is
probably a
good analogy, but if the development of the Evergreen product continues
at
its current pace, I expect it to put a serious hurt on the other major
ILS
vendors within less than 5 years.
