EIAC 2017


We had a great time in Indianapolis at the Annual Conference on March 31, 2017; we welcomed nearly 120 of you to a dozen training program options! Presentations and photos from the event are being gradually added to the Past Conferences page, so be sure to check back over the next couple of weeks for additional content!

Evergreen International Annual Conference 2017


11 EI libraries sent 19 staff to the Evergreen International conference in Covington, KY last week! We presented, networked, and got inspired to try new things! Presentation materials are available for anyone who would like to take a look!

Promotional materials survey

Due to expressed interest in the community, we’re researching options to cooperatively purchase some Evergreen Indiana branded promotional materials. We’re asking that all interested libraries please take a couple of minutes and fill out a survey so that we can see what is of the most interest. Completing the survey will not commit your library to any purchase at this time; it’s simply to gauge interest!

Deadlines

  • Executive and subcommittee ballots are due by May 12, 2017.
  • The 2017 Bylaws amendment votes are due by May 31, 2017.
  • The 2017 Ethics Audit closes on August 1, 2017.

Committee News

The Executive Committee met at the Evergreen Indiana Annual Conference. Several issues were tabled until the June meeting. The 2018 annual meeting was confirmed as an anniversary gala; planning will begin once a budget has been chosen. A global required item stat cat was approved; libraries will be contacted about converting their collections in the next few weeks. This meeting was recorded and may be reviewed on Youtube.
