Common mistakes to avoid with Equinox Open Library Initiative
Even a strong tool like [Equinox Open Library Initiative](https://saaskart.co/software/equinox-evergreen) underdelivers when set up poorly, so avoid the common traps. Do not import messy data and expect clean results; clean it first. Do not enable every feature at once, which overwhelms the team; start with Evergreen ILS. Do not skip assigning ownership, or the system falls out of date. Do not ignore integrations, which leaves data siloed. Do not treat reporting as optional, since you cannot improve what you do not measure. Steering clear of these mistakes lets library consortia and public libraries get real value from Equinox Open Library Initiative quickly, rather than joining the teams that buy powerful software and use a fraction of it.
