Weekly Update — May 26, 2015
Evergreen International 2015 Follow-Up
Evergreen Indiana had 5 representatives at the Evergreen International 2015 conference (one was unable to join us for the picture above). It was an outstanding conference with a lot of information on acquisitions, the new web client, refining local settings, and maintenance projects. Our sysadmin, Jason Boyer, presented on methods to manage patching and upgrades at the server level.
Available presentations and handouts will be posted on the conference website. Our hosts in Hood River did amazing job with organizing and leading the conference, and it was delightful to meet and work with our counterparts from other Evergreen libraries across the US and Canada! And finally, our congratulations to Ruth Frasur (HJTPL) on her election to the Evergreen Oversight Board which guides the Evergreen international community!
Resource Sharing Logo Contest
As Evergreen Indiana values and celebrates resource sharing, we are asking you to consider getting involved the Indiana State Library (ISL) and the Academic Libraries of Indiana (ALI) Resource Sharing Committees’ contest to identify a symbol or logo to represent Resource Sharing in Indiana.
Realizing that not everyone can draw, entries do not need to be final designs. The committees arejust looking for a sketch, a description or an idea that perfectly encapsulates resource sharing in Indiana. This means that this competition is open to idea people as well as to graphic artists. If you have an idea, please send it in, or if you know someone who is good at this type of work, please share this message with them and encourage them to enter.
The deadline for entries has been extended to 1 July 2015. Details are available at:
