Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Are folks still interested in Evergreen for Academics?

I like the idea of calling it the Student Success Interest Group, or
something along those lines. I think that would bridge all library types
and how their service supplies the information needs of all students at all
levels. And it wouldn't preclude discussing the differences in how that
service is defined for different types of students.

 Hi Evergreeners,

 A while back, there was a great group of folks at academic
 institutions who were discussing issues of interest to academic
 libraries that use Evergreen (e.g. course reserves, cataloging and
 display needs, workflows, integration with campus systems).

 There's some documentation of this group here:
 https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=evergreen_for_academics

 Would folks be interested in seeing this group return?  If so, what
 sorts of activities and/or discussions do you think would be fruitful
 for this group to engage in?

 Thanks,

 -Jane

[Terran McCanna]

I agree with all that Jane said.

We don't support any academic libraries in PINES, but I have worked in
academic libraries and I'll always be interested in expanding Evergreen to
be flexible enough to support all types of library needs.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Are folks still interested in Evergreen for Academics?

[Jane Sandberg]

Your point is well taken, Ruth.  I'm very grateful for your email.

I also wouldn't want to see a separate academic fork of Evergreen.  I feel
very fortunate to work in a library that blends approaches that are
typically associated with both academic and public libraries.  There are
many libraries that blend these approaches even further: tribal college
libraries that also serve as the public libraries *and* archives of their
communities jump to mind as really successful examples.

At the same time, there are many ways that Evergreen could better help our
Library bolster student success. I believe that there is value in
discussing these with other folks who share a student success lens.

I imagine that this group would convene discussions both by itself and with
the larger Evergreen community.  I agree with Kathy; I don't see a need for
a separate email list at this time.  I also suspect that this group would
find itself building coalitions not just with the public libraries that use
Evergreen, but also with the primary and secondary schools that use
Evergreen, the special libraries that use Evergreen, and with libraries
that don't fit into the way we historically categorize libraries here in
the United States.

I am very open to ideas about how to *not* reinforce the silo approach,
while still being able to have really in-depth, student-centered
discussion.  For starters, how would folks feel about changing the group's
name to something like the Student Success Interest Group?

Thanks also to Jennifer, Kathy, Ron, and Jim for your interest and
contributions to this discussion. :-)

For the sake of the academic libraries in C/W MARS, I'm interested. I think
it's important in general, though, not to separate academics and publics
and create small, unintended exclusion zones based on type of institution.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Are folks still interested in Evergreen for Academics?

[Kathy Lussier]

I'm still interested in participating. I think it died mostly because 
there was nobody taking a leadership role to keep the 
meetings/discussions going. In addition to discussing workflows, I would 
like to discuss development that could make Evergreen a more attractive 
option for academics.


My preference is to keep any e-mail discussion on the Evergreen general 
list. I do think it was beneficial to have periodic meetings in IRC.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Are folks still interested in Evergreen for Academics?

[Ruth Frasur]

Just throwing in, and not to derail anything from Evergreen for Academics,
that there are things that academics do that publics can benefit from.
There's always been this tendency to silo by type (in a much broader sense
than Evergreen), and it does a thing similar to forking the software.  I
wouldn't have learned about that ability explained by Dan and Jason without
the thread being a place where I, who wouldn't be in an academic listserv
for Evergreen, would see it.
