New LEU DropBox
A new DropBox folder has been created specifically for Evergreen Indiana hosted webinars. An email will be sent with a link to the recipients to download the certificates. They will remain in the folder for five years (or until we run out of space). You may wish to bookmark the link for future access!

Emails were recently sent out to the Support, Update, and Catalog listservs about the upcoming annual refreshers for LocalAdmin and Cat1 permission group holders. These notices are availble to view on the Evergreen Indiana Blog.
