Just a reminder that several of the presentations given at the conference can be scheduled right now with your regional coordinator! Contact information and areas of the state covered by each regional coordinator can be found here: http://www.in.gov/library/pdo.htm
• Evergreen Indiana – Holds class: Holds and searching in Evergreen. This class is offered each month at ISL, quarterly out in the field and, since it is a new class offering, by request from member libraries until December 2013. We have had such a positive response and high number of requests that we have integrated the class into our core Evergreen Indiana curriculum which includes Basic Circulation, Basic Cataloging and Admin/Reports. Beginning in 2014, the Evergreen Indiana – Holds class will not be available by request from member libraries but will continue to be offered each month at ISL and quarterly throughout the year out in the field. Integrating this new class into the regularly scheduled Evergreen classes will ensure that it is consistently available and that the location is flexible since it is offered in either central Indiana or in one of the four regions of the state.
• Dealing with difficult patrons
• Cleaning up the patron database: Will be offered as a webinar this fall by the Circulation Committee.
• Explicit Content: Reports presentation. Self-paced advanced reports class available through WebJunction Indiana: http://www.in.gov/library/files/Accessing_the_Reporting_and_Admin_Overview_Self-Paced_Tutorial.pdf
