Atlanta, Ga., January 22, 2025: Equinox Open Library Initiative, a trusted leader in open source technology development and support for libraries, is pleased to announce development projects for Evergreen ILS and CORAL ERM completed in Q4 2024.
Evergreen
- RESTful API Phase II Part 1
Evergreen’s APIs were brought into a modern framework with the development of new RESTful API endpoints and documentation which is now available for third-party developers. These endpoints include patron, bibliographic, and item data, in addition to patron engagement, circulation, and course reserves information.
- Alerts & Notes Phase II
The Alerts & Notes project reworks the front-end and middle layer elements of Evergreen’s item-level alerts, notes, and tags, giving catalogers a flexible and updated interface. This development included additional administrative access points and accessibility updates.
Both features are targeted for the 3.15 release of Evergreen and were made possible with the support of the Evergreen Community Development Initiative.
CORAL ERM
- Community review & bugfixing for the CORAL Resources module
The CORAL Resources module rewrite is currently in testing by the CORAL community and Equinox has been collaborating to address minor bugfixes and improvements. The new interface is expected to make its debut in early 2025.
“The Evergreen RESTful API project is an important infrastructure modernization. We’re grateful to the Evergreen Community Development Initiative for recognizing the benefits that this project provides to Evergreen users and third-party services,” says Andrea Buntz Neiman, Project Manager for Software Development at Equinox. “We are also proud to lead the accessibility updates in CORAL’s Resources module.”
