In 2024, Equinox expanded partnerships, including with Evergreen Indiana, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and EveryLibrary, to collaborate on several innovative consulting projects. Equinox also partnered with library organizations to offer new opportunities for enhancing services, such as access to WorldCat’s Metadata API with OCLC, Unique Management Services’ MessageBee SMS, special pricing for Aspen Discovery, CORAL ERM and SubjectsPlus for the Connecticut Library Consortium, and authority control services through Backstage Library Works.

Equinox’s educational and outreach efforts supported libraries and communities across the United States. Equinox sponsored the first ever AspenCon in Golden, Colorado, and provided expertise for Aspen Discovery documentation and accessibility. The Equinox team presented on resource sharing and open source development at the 2024 American Library Association Annual Conference in San Diego, CA. At the 2024 Koha-US Annual Conference in Round Rock, Texas, Equinox’s presentation sparked discussion related to accessibility for Koha. Presentations for the Connecticut Library Association and the Connecticut Library Consortium focused on Aspen Discovery, Evergreen, Fulfillment, and CORAL ERM.

Open source software development work included two new releases of CORAL ERM (2024.04 and 2024.10) and, for Evergreen, new RESTful API endpoints, multi factor authentication, and a rewrite of Evergreen’s Record Buckets interface.

“The Equinox team extends our gratitude to our partners, libraries, and community members for your continued support and collaboration in 2024. Your feedback sets the course for Equinox’s open source contributions each year,” said Lisa Carlucci, Executive Director at Equinox. “We are proud to support libraries and open source communities with Equinox’s nonprofit programs, education, and outreach.”

Equinox Provides VuFind® Consulting and IT Services for the Historical Society of Pennsylvania

Atlanta, Ga., January 7, 2025: Equinox Open Library Initiative, a trusted leader in open source technology development and support for libraries, is pleased to announce its collaboration with the Historical Society of Pennsylvania (HSP) to provide technical consulting for HSP’s implementation of the open source discovery layer, VuFind®.

Equinox worked with HSP to update their two VuFind® systems: Discover (https://discover.hsp.org) and Encounters (https://encounters.hsp.org). These systems bring together metadata from their library catalog, encoded archival description (EAD) records from Archivists’ Toolkit, records from the Orphan Society of Philadelphia, and digital records from the HSP Digital Library and the Philadelphia Record Photograph Morgue.

The Historical Society of Pennsylvania was established in 1824 and preserves a collection of over 21 million manuscripts, books, and images. Through educator workshops, research opportunities, and public programs the Historical Society of Pennsylvania seeks to make history relevant and exhilarating for all.

HSP developed a mini-ILS to maintain their library records, but later partnered with the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) to host HSP’s catalog. At the time, HSP’s Discover system could not integrate content from the Penn catalog. Equinox worked with HSP and Penn staff to establish a data feed to retrieve records from the catalog and make them visible in VuFind®. Equinox also upgraded HSP’s Discover system from VuFind® 5 to version 9.1.

“Equinox’s mission includes providing IT support and services for special collections and archives seeking to expand discoverability and access to collections using open source technologies,” said Felicia Beaudry, Business Development Manager at Equinox. “We were pleased to work with HSP to update their VuFind® systems and help them complete the work they started with the University of Pennsylvania.”

Equinox Designs Children’s Theme for Aspen Discovery for Central Skagit Library District

Atlanta, Ga., December 12, 2024: Equinox Open Library Initiative, a trusted leader in open source technology development and support for libraries, is pleased to announce the release of a children’s theme for Aspen Discovery designed for the Central Skagit Library District, a member of the Skagit Evergreen Libraries.

“Equinox was a fantastic partner to have on board when our library group chose to create a children’s page,” said Millissa Macomber, ILS Manager at Central Skagit Library District. “The project came about as part of a partnership with a local school district. The faculty expressed a desire to have the main catalog display custom groups and materials. We took on the challenge and with a lot of help from Equinox we now have a page that works for the school. Future uses are in the works as we talk with other school districts about possible applications.”

Skagit Evergreen Libraries launched in 2011 and now encompasses four libraries in Skagit County, Washington. Equinox has been working with the consortium since it formed in 2011. Skagit deployed Aspen Discovery in 2022.

Aspen Discovery is a highly customizable, open source discovery layer for libraries, bringing together the library’s resources, databases, and events into one searchable and browsable environment. Aspen Discovery’s customizable themes can improve the accessibility of a library’s resources in addition to seamless brand integration.

“There is nothing more important than opening the library to the next generation of patrons,” said Rogan Hamby, Data and Project Manager at Equinox. “Aspen Discovery is so flexible when it comes to customization and accessibility; it was a fun project to create an access point devoted to the Central Skagit Library District’s children’s program. We hope that it will serve members of their community for years to come.”
