Equinox Software, Inc., the open source experts, is proud to announce the formation of a wholly-owned Canadian-based subsidiary, Equinox Library
Services Canada (ELSC). ELSC was formed in response to Canadian libraries requesting that ILS systems be physically located in Canada; all ESLC hosting
services will be provided from a Toronto datacenter. ELSC will also provide implementation, support, training, and other services for Evergreen and Koha.
Equinox Software is proud to announce two scholarships for the Code4Lib Conference in Seattle, WA February 6-9 2012. Equinox Software will reimburse travel and accommodation expenses up to $750.00 for two full-time library staff members from libraries currently running Evergreen or Koha ILS. The awardees will also receive free registration to Code4Lib.
The North Bay Public Library in Ontario has gone live with Evergreen as their next generation library automation software. Equinox Software oversaw installation and data migration and will continue to provide technical support for the new system.
Galen Charlton, Equinox Director of Support and Implementation, says, “We look forward to working with the Blue Sky Consortium and give Kudos to North Bay Public Library for paving the way for the newest Evergreen Consortium”

The community of Evergreen libraries has had a busy six months (January through June, 2011) owing to the addition of 114 library systems with 140 separate branches and outlets. This six-month experience eclipsed the growth seen in the community in any previous year.
In July, a blog post detailed cumulative summary numbers in the growth of Evergreen since its first libraries were migrated in 2006. See the “State of Evergreen, June 30, 2011” (http://evergreen-ils.org/blog/?p=602).
