Weekly Update – March 8, 2011

Evergreen International Conference

Message from Kelly Ehinger to listservs earlier this week:

The Adams Public Library was awarded an LSTA grant to help approximately ten individuals from Indiana libraries affiliated with Evergreen Indiana to attend the upcoming Evergreen International Annual Conference in April. 

This year’s conference will be held April 27-30 in Decatur, Georgia.  Information on the conference can be found at:  http://pines.georgialibraries.org/evergreen2011/  [The 2012 conference will be held in Indianapolis!]

Individuals from Evergreen Indiana libraries who wish to receive travel funds to attend this conference may apply for a sub-grant.  The application is here: 2011 Grant Application.  Applications must be submitted by March 25, 2011 to Jennifer Clifton, LSTA Consultant, Indiana State Library, 315 W Ohio Street, Indianapolis IN 46202.  Please also email a copy to her at jclifton@library.in.gov.

Evergreen Indiana Annual Meeting and Conference

The Evergreen Indiana Annual Meeting and Conference will be held Friday, May 6, at Primo West in Plainfield, IN.  Registration will be $30 per person. We will begin accepting registrations in the coming weeks.

This week, a formal call for programs will be released.

Additionally, watch for a email from Mary Hougland to seeking nominations for the Evergreen Indiana Executive Committee this week.

2.0 Upgrade

Reminders:

  1. In this upgrade, we anticipate minimal downtime for member libraries.  At Close of Business on Friday, 3/18/11, please be sure to log off all staff clients.  For Saturday through Monday (3/19/11-3/21/11), we ask that you operate in the offline mode as the servers are upgraded. 
  2. The link to the latest supported staff client will be sent to the Evergreen Indiana Support Listserv when the final version is available, and will be included in the Evergreen Indiana Blog for easy reference.  Once posted, the library’s local administrator may begin downloading the staff client to the staff computers. Do not download the 2.0.2 version, as this may not be the final version released before our upgrade.
  3. When the upgrade is complete, all four Evergreen Indiana listservs will receive notification that local administrators may begin registering the workstations and staff may begin using the 2.0 staff client.
