November Upgrade

We have begun preparations for the upgrade to v3.13+ that will occur in November! More information will be released as we get closer to the date.

Display Items in Aspen

While we’ve been working with member libraries and their Aspen catalogs, we have found that material in a status of “Display” will show as “Available” in Aspen. There is not a way to fix this at this time.

User Groups Underway!

The Regional User Group at Parke County went off without a hitch on Tuesday! It was a small but lively event. Today (20th) we’ll be at Jackson County Public Library in Seymour, IN. There is still time to register for the remaining five user groups.

Strategic Plan Surveys

The Evergreen Indiana Library Consortium (EILC) has started strategic planning and wants to learn your thoughts and opinions about Evergreen services, performance, and visions for the future!

EILC’s consultant, Carson Block, has shared a brief (2-minute) video https://youtu.be/-IDCpWo0y8g to introduce you to the survey.

Please fill out the survey that best represents your role in the consortium. For example, if you are a committee member, please fill out that form.
