Evergreen Indiana is a growing consortium of 100 public, school and institutional libraries located throughout Indiana that use the Evergreen ILS. Patrons of member libraries can use their Evergreen Indiana library card to view the catalogs and borrow materials from the other member libraries.

The Evergreen Indiana catalog holds over 2.8 million bibliographic records and provides access to over 6.6 million items.

The Evergreen Indiana project, is being funded by the Indiana State Library through Library Services and Technology Act grants. The services provided by the State Library include purchasing and maintaining the central servers, personnel costs in operating the system, training, software development, data conversion, and other related expenses.

In 2008, the Indiana State Library enlisted the services and expertise of Equinox Software, Inc. to develop a comprehensive migration strategy for Indiana libraries. With a migration strategy in place, the 20 pilot libraries elected the first Evergreen Indiana Executive Committee and commenced the development of the consortium’s policies and procedures. Evergreen Indiana's policies, as adopted by the Executive Committee, are at Evergreen Indiana Policies and Procedures.
