Access 2008 - Day 3, Evergreen/Conifer
Evergreen. It has been the word of the conference.
- An ILS
- It is scalable
- Open Standards
- C, Perl, PostGres
- Runs on your old Dell
- Perhaps too modular
- The install is a bit of a handful
But the Ontario implementation team is:
Conifer a confederation of 5 institutions: McMaster, Laurentian, U of Windsor, Northern Ontario School of Medicine, and Algoma Univeristy. While the hardware is located a Guelph. Basically it operates as a grass roots independent entity to develop Evergreen. Wait I just got the pun.
"If cou can't open it you don't own it."
Finally the tide is changing. I hope this works out and it goes OCUL wide.
UPEI has to be commended for taking a chance with Evergreen.
