Weekly Update – January 4, 2011

Happy New Year!

The Evergreen team at the Indiana State Library wishes you a very happy and productive 2011!

Notice Issues

Evergreen Support is working with Equinox Software to determine a fix for the intermittent lapse in the e-mailing of 30- and 45-day overdue notices.

As was reported last week, 30- and 45-day notices are not being generated at this time. A fix is in the works and will be announced via the Evergreen Support listserv. If you are using a collection agency, this may affect your decision to continue collections activity during this period.

OverDrive

The sign-up deadline for OverDrive is fast approaching! Evergreen libraries who submit signed agreements by January 10, 2011 will be eligible to go live in late February. Contact Jason (jfields [at] library.in.gov) or Wendy (wknapp [at] library.in.gov) for details.

Quarterly Barcode Order

The quarterly barcode order will be placed next week. Please submit your order to Jason (jfields [at] library.in.gov) no later than close-of-business on Friday, January 7, 2011.

A tutorial for using Evergreen report templates for the 2010 Indiana Public Library Annual Report is available on the Staff Training Documents website.
