Evergreen is an integrated library system originally developed by the Georgia PINES consortium for use as their automation system, and now includes contributions from around the world. It was designed from scratch for large-scale deployment in very large public library and state-wide consortium environments with tens of millions of records and hundreds of libraries, but can also scale down to the smallest of single-branch libraries.

Recent releases


Changes: This is a bugfix release featuring improved OPAC support for Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari; removal of a race condition for saving edited bibliographic records; improved I18N support; and greatly improved performance in authority lookups.


Changes: New features include a Shelving Location search filter, search configuration parameters, the ability to set the per-circulation maximum fine amount to a percentage (including more than 100%) of the item price, Web-based Self-Checkout functionality, and support for XML-only Z39.50 servers, such as MARCXML-backed Zebra installations. Bugs fixed include two new reporter operators, report editor display (horizontal scrolling) issues, potential encoding problems for RSS and Atom feeds, fine interval parsing, and enhancements for single-location installations.


Changes: This release adds functionality, performance, and usability improvements, and simplifies installing and configuring. Major changes include the elimination of stop words for searches, more APIs for third party products, and the splitting of OpenSRF into a separate project and code base. This is also the first true "community release" that has received significant contributions from people not affiliated with the original developers.
