Duluth, GA–July 14, 2015. Equinox is pleased to announce that yet another library has gone live on Evergreen through the North Carolina Cardinal Consortium. Last month, Brown Library in Washington, North Carolina made the move to Evergreen, utilizing the Sequoia platform. Brown is a single branch library with 56,065 bib records and serves over 15,000 patrons. Brown marks the 23rd migration for NC Cardinal, a continually growing consortium.
Kimberly Davenport, Library Services Coordinator for Brown, said the following about the move, ""The Equinox team made the migration process much more manageable than anticipated for a small municipal library with limited staffing. Our patrons very quickly took advantage of the increased access to not only new materials, but more obscure materials they could not have easily gotten their hands on before without incurring ILL fees. Staff adapted easily to the new work station interface and patrons are enjoying the freedom of managing their personal accounts. Resource sharing has exponentially expanded our ability to better serve our community and patron base."
Equinox Project Manager for Implementation Erica Rohlfs added, "The staff at Brown Library have been a joy to work with during their migration to NC Cardinal. They were very receptive to this transition and seamlessly flowed through each stage of the process."
