Weekly Update — February 16, 2016
New Committee Forming!
We are now soliciting member library staff to serve on the 2017 Evergreen Indiana Annual Conference Committee. This new subcommittee will collaborate with the Coordinator to identify the site, solicit speakers and vendor sponsors, and develop marketing and event materials for distribution. This is a one year commitment (2 years if you are selected as committee chair-elect) with meetings on an as-needed basis. If you’re passionate about holding a great event and would like to participate, please email Anna!
Autovoiding Lost Fees
With the upgrade to Evergreen version 2.9, we have much better controls in place to prevent the creation of unwanted negative patron balances resulting from the return of lost materials. If your library staff are tired of manually forgiving lost and lost processing fees when materials are returned, you may wish to have the autovoiding feature turned on for your library. These settings only affect your holdings, so libraries that prefer to retain the bills for manual review may do so. Changes to your library’s autovoid settings may be requested via a HelpDesk ticket.
Committee News
The Cataloging Committee will meet at 10am on Thursday, March 3, 2016 at the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library.
