About OpenText Library Management
Corporate libraries require a platform to manage digital content, electronic resources, multimedia, and print materials. OpenText™ Library Management (formerly Livelink for Libraries, or Techlib) is a web-based, integrated library system for managing library resources, including traditional and digital collections, and automating daily library operations. It provides the tools necessary to meet the rapidly changing requirements of the digital library. Library Management streamlines and facilitates the day-to-day operations of a corporate, government, or organizational library. Cataloging and maintenance of library materials. Management of the purchasing process for published materials. Equally suited to organizations with one or with many library locations, system parameters can be defined globally or to accommodate individual library policies. Options include staff privileges, material, collection and patron types, loans policies, classification scheme and reporting options.

Evergreen ILS
This is the project site for Evergreen, highly-scalable software for libraries that helps library patrons find library materials, and helps libraries manage, catalog, and circulate those materials, no matter how large or complex the libraries. The Evergreen Project develops an open-source ILS (integrated library system) used by more than 2,000 libraries around the world. The software, also called Evergreen, is used by libraries to provide their public catalog interface as well as to manage back-of-house operations such as circulation (checkouts and check-ins), acquisition of library materials, and (particularly in the case of Evergreen) sharing resources among groups of libraries. Evergreen depends on the following technologies Perl, C, JavaScript, XML, XPath, XSLT, XMPP, OpenSRF, Apache, mod_perl, and PostgreSQL. The latest stable release of a supported Linux distribution is recommended for an Evergreen installation.
