Linn County Cooperative Library System

About This Grant

In the summer of 2012, the combined libraries of the cities of Albany and Lebanon as well as Linn-Benton Community College migrated their holdings and patron databases to a shared Evergreen ILS, and called its system the Linn Consortium. This project extends the shared ILS to include other interested public libraries within Linn County. The benefits of doing are several fold, including lowering maintenance costs, and sharing technical assistance.  This proposal also provides for consultation and assistance for libraries to establish a new or improved web presence, including a union catalog. Year two will enable patron-initiated requesting and courier service.
