The deadline has come and gone for responses to our development request for an Enhancement Database.

What is an Enhancement Database you ask?

This is a database that we want to develop on this site where libraries can work together on development specifications. Where we can co-sponsor development projects and establish specs, partners, timelines, etc. Only problem is, no vendor responded to the RFP. I'll attach a copy of the RFP here. 

Congratulations to Amy Terlaga and Bibliomation for finding 3 co-development partners for an initiative to develop a Kids catalog on Evergreen.  It looks like Sitka, PINES, and KCLS have all hopped aboard.  Luck to us all, and hope we get a good product from it, but regardless, this is a great story and a first example of the potential of co-development partnering via the Evergreen Community.

We've had questions recently about our development plans for Evergreen OPAC.  We're attaching our project plan for OPAC development and implementation here in this post.  This document shows a high level schedule and milestones for this project.  Can you say "tight timeframe"?

Hats off to the KCLS Web Services Department including Lisa Hill, Melissa Falgout, and Josh Ring, who are orchestrating this complex project.
