InfoExpress Feature

There is a brand-new feature on the InfoExpress portal. We have a new way to report missed InfoExpress stops on the right-side menu after you login. When you report a missed stop, the ISL staff will receive an email, and will acknowledge the missed stop. Acknowledging the missed stop will generate an email back to you.

Strategic Plan Update

An exciting announcement is coming next week! We are in the first stages of strategic planning and want to hear your thoughts and feelings about our services. Your perspectives are very important to us! More details coming soon!

Evergreen Transit Boxes

Please remember to transit audiovisual material in the proper containers: Evergreen provided boxes, padded envelopes, other boxes, etc.

Also, please dispose of Evergreen transit boxes that are no longer usable, aka “not boxy” or are “squishy.” Do not send them to us at the State Library.

Lastly, I do apologize to those waiting for their transit box requests. I try to get them shipped as supplies and time allow me.

Regional User Groups

Our Regional User Groups start next week! We look forward to seeing those in attendance. “Know before you go” emails will be sent a few days prior to the scheduled day.

Meet the Team

Jeremy Murray has been the Indiana State Library’s Management Information Services division supervisor and also the System Administrator for Evergreen Indiana for over two years. Prior to joining Evergreen, he was the Indiana State Library’s application developer for 10 years, responsible for sites such as InfoExpress, Indiana Legacy, the Certification site, and others. His interests primarily include board games and being exceptionally precise about brewing a single cup of coffee. His favorite part of the consortium is how it continually demonstrates the whole is indeed greater than the sum of its parts.”
