Atlanta, Ga., January 5, 2026: Equinox Open Library Initiative, a trusted leader in open source technology development and support for libraries, is pleased to welcome Porter County Public Library System to Evergreen Indiana Library Consortium’s Aspen Discovery services with Equinox hosting and support.
Aspen Discovery is a highly customizable, open source discovery layer designed to make library collections more accessible and engaging for patrons. The Evergreen Indiana Library Consortium (Evergreen Indiana) added Aspen Discovery services for its members with Equinox in 2024.
“Porter County Public Library System has been using Aspen Discovery since 2021 and we have been really pleased with the positive impact it has made for patrons,” said Elizabeth Hager, Collections Coordinator at Porter County Public Library System. “In moving to Equinox hosting and support alongside Evergreen Indiana Library Consortium, our patrons will continue to enjoy the powerful search and functionality Aspen Discovery offers.”
Evergreen Indiana is a growing consortium of libraries throughout Indiana that are using Evergreen ILS and Aspen Discovery. The Indiana State Library provides funding in addition to technical support, training, and software development of Evergreen ILS on behalf of its member libraries.
“Aspen Discovery is popular both with patrons who value its ease of use and librarians who embrace its tools to highlight and unify their resources,” said Rogan Hamby, Data and Project Manager at Equinox. “It makes having a customized, branded web based library presence simple. We are excited to support Porter County’s Aspen Discovery system.”
