Atlanta, Ga., January 14, 2025: Equinox Open Library Initiative, a trusted leader in open source technology development and support for libraries, is pleased to announce that the Missouri Evergreen Consortium has selected Equinox to provide implementation, hosting, and support for Aspen Discovery. Equinox also provided project management, system configuration, and training for consortium members.
“The Missouri Evergreen Consortium created a pilot program where fifteen libraries would deploy Aspen Discovery, and other members could install the solution when their library was able to take on the project. Building on the success of the first fifteen, we already have inquiries from other members asking when they can join,” said Steven Potter, Executive Director of the Missouri Evergreen Consortium.
The Missouri Evergreen Consortium is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which began in 2012. It serves more than 730,000 patrons in Missouri at more than 200 library outlets. Learn more at: http://moevergreenlibraries.org/
