Sitka is a group of libraries in BC using the award-winning open-source Evergreen software as its shared Integrated Library System (ILS). Sitka is governed by the non-profit, member-driven BC Libraries Cooperative, supported by a dedicated team and funded in partnership with the Province of British Columbia.

This ambitious initiative is truly a collaborative effort, creating tremendous economies of scale, opportunities for shared growth and increasing access to library resources across the province.

Libraries can do so much more collectively than any one library can do individually!

Here are some links and a listserv that help facilitate discussion around Evergreen within BC. As well, a set of Evergreen Talking Points has been compiled to help inform library boards and staff about the initiative.
