Weekly Update — March 3, 2015
Streamlining the Reports Process
As you hopefully read on the Support Listserv, we will be transitioning the majority of our currently available, globally shared templates to locally shared folders. Our goal is to reduce duplication of effort and to ensure that results are consistent and accurate. If you have written or use a template that is currently part of the globally shared template group and should be retained globally, please fill out this survey: Lifesaver Report Templates. Please note that templates currently in Admin or Jason’s folder do not need to be recommended.
Support News
We have re-enabled 3-day email overdue notices. Please let the Evergreen team at the ISL or a Patron Services Committee member know if you receive significant negative feedback.
