Nothing but deadlines!

We have a lot of deadlines coming up in the next few days! Be sure to mark your calendar.

  • The barcode and library card purchasing pool is now open (until Friday)! Instructions and vendor contact information are available here: Barcode Purchasing Pool.
  • The early bird registration for the 2015 EI Annual Conference will be closing on March 13, 2015. Register now for a chance at a full scholarship to the conference. We are also still accepting presentation proposals through March 15, 2015. Please visit the Evergreen Indiana Annual Conference 2015 page now!
  • We’re going to get started with the report streamlining project next week so be sure to let us know about any Lifesaver Report Templates we should be moving to the admin collection!
  • Committee nominations will close on March 18, 2015. We still need representatives to participate on the Patron Services and Executive Committees. Committees form our policies and procedures, and we need your experience and enthusiasm as we transition to our next year of service.
  • Library Standards’ waiver letters are due to the Library Development Office by March 30, 2015. Please remember that Evergreen Indiana libraries must be found in-standards or receive a waiver from the ILHB to continue as regular members of the consortium!
