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.
