+Evergreen has grown rapidly and I have been keeping track as best I can by maintaining a list of the libraries running Evergreen that I can identify and, where possible, integrating that list with published national-level or provincial data.
+The first table (New Libraries by Year) summarizes this growth. Bear in mind that there are uncertainties about some details and most of the published data are for 2007 so “outlets” (central library + branches + bookmobiles) may have changed but the count of systems is current.
+We can see here that in 2006, the first 46 (including the State Library) systems in PINES migrated to Evergreen. There were 248 outlets by my count—not org units as Evergreen users usually report.
+was a slow year—the calm before the storm—with 4 new public library systems using Evergreen. This year also saw the first non-PINES libraries go live in British Columbia in what is now called SITKA.
+In 2008, the pace quickend with 39 systems and 89 outlets. The first academics went live with Evergreen this year with the University of PEI.
+was crazy. 98 systems and 199 outlets ran Evergreen for the first time. Conifer also went live so the number of academics also increased. Conifer also has a number of academic special libraries such as health and law libraries.
+The total at the end of the 2009 was 187 systems and 544 outlets using Evergreen.
+Most of these are still public libraries. The second table (New Public Libraries by Year) has some summary data from these public libraries. Public library data are about the best we have; academic data are fragmentary. There are two numbers that public librarians will cite: population service and total annual circulations. What I have done here is to total these numbers from the latest figures (mostly 2007) for the libraries using Evergreen. 2007, as you can see had those four small systems go live. As I have pointed out numerous times, the story of Evergreen is a story of small public libraries but in a scalable environment. Each year since then, more libraries, more types of libraries, and bigger entities have chosen Evergreen.
+Wait until this year: you ain't seen nothin' yet.
