Eric Bungay, Web Development Librarian, University of Guelph The Evergreen Open Source ILS is a free, open source library automation system developed and in use by Georgia Library's Public Information Network for Electronic Services. Evergreen has attracted world-wide interest since its introduction in 2006. Since Evergreen was originally developed in the United States, its best supports are in English. For libraries with Chinese collections, Chinese localization is a key project for its promotion to libraries. We have developed a Chinese version, enabling Evergreen to support Chinese in either English or Chinese dominated environments. Discover the Chinese version of Evergreen along with various multilingual issues related MARC standards, encoding, indexing, searching, and sorting especially associated with Chinese language. Convenor: Alexandra Eisenbichler, MISt Student, University of Toronto See demonstrations of two different technologies that can greatly improve the research experience for your library users. First we will introduce LibX, review its functionality and demonstrate how easy it is for any library to create their own LibX version using the Edition Builder. Then we will demonstrate practical ways of using RSS feeds to deliver up-to-date information at a single location. Convenor: John Dupuis, Science Librarian, Head, Steacie Science and Engineering Library In 2007 TPL launched a large scale digitization project in partnership with Kirtas Technologies, Amazon.com, and Ristech. Our goal is to digitize and make available, both freely and for print-ondemand, 10,000 volumes of our pre-Confederation Canadian imprints over the next five years. One year into the project, we will review the progress, implications for TPL's Digital Collections and traditional library operations, technical issues and lessons learned. Learn about new options for promoting and making collections content available online. Hear about new robotic scanning technology. Understand implications for operations and service.
