Registration Open

Registration for the Regional User Groups is now open! Links to the forms are available on the calendar. Please note that some locations have limited space.

Reports Project Help

Because of the retention period set up for our reports, it is difficult for us to determine which templates have not been used after one month. To work around that, we are asking that libraries look through their templates and delete any that are no longer used.

If the templates are owned by a staff person who is no longer employed at your library, please notify us so we may delete them or move them to a specified account.

We plan to complete this project by November 1st before we upgrade to v3.13.

Request for Partner

The company behind LibraryIQ is wishing to partner with an Evergreen Indiana library to have them share their experiences with the software. How using the software has improved library experience, circulation, programs, etc. If you are interested, please contact Courtney at cobrown@library.in.gov ASAP.

Committee Contacts

Don’t forget you have regional contacts for each committee! Please consider reaching out if you have anything to share that you do not feel comfortable sending through the listserv or to us at the state library.
