I'd like to compare notes with you on how robust and functional Evergreen really is, especially compared to Horizon. I don't want to keep stepping back in functionality with promises of next year. IF there is a task force I'm probably going to be put on it as a representative for this part of the state and I'd like to be able to compare notes with someone I trust - like you. Is there an Evergreen list out there? Eileen Hi Ben,

It appears weak for almost all academic functions, including acquisitions, serials, reserve book room, etc. I'm sure someone/somewhere is working on that, but I'm also convinced the likes of serials on 8x were not created overnight. Nor, might I add, was Dynix Classic. So I am uncertain how much growth you can expect on Evergreen in a year. But, I'm happy for you! Let me know if I can help in any way! -- q There were some nice, but very primitive 8x things that Evergreen has in common with the conceptual structure of Hz 8.
