[OPLINLIST] Bucyrus Goes Live in COOL

[Chauncey]

On Thursday, May 2nd, the Bucyrus Public Library (BPL) joined the Consortium of Ohio Libraries (COOL), adding nearly 55,000 additional items to the COOL-CAT collection. The Bucyrus Public Library is the 13th library in Ohio to join the consortium, and begin using the Evergreen ILS, since its inception in 2012.
  
Evergreen, the open source ILS originally developed by PINES (Public Information Network for Electronic Services) for the Georgia Public Library Service, is used by over 2,000 libraries across 31 states, 7 countries, and 6 Canadian provinces. This count only includes reported installations, as anybody is free to download, install and try it out for their library.

Read more about Bucyrus's programs and services at https://bucyruslibrary.org.  More information on COOL can be found at https://info.cool-cat.org.

COOL is always open to new members. If you are interested becoming a COOL library, or if you want more information on the consortium or Evergreen, contact Matt Polcyn, Director of Technology Services at OhioNET, at mattp at ohionet.org or 800-686-8975.
