Evergreen Upgrade is Next Weekend!
Just a reminder that the Evergreen Indiana server will be down for a software upgrade after 10pm on November 22, and all day November 23 and 24. Access to the web client, classic catalog, and Aspen catalogs will be unavailable. Jeremy will notify you via email when the web client is back up and accessible. Your library may wish to use Offline Circulation/Mode during open hours until the system is brought back up. A webinar on how to prepare for and use Offline Mode is scheduled.
Cat1 Annual Refresher
If you missed viewing the live Cataloging Refresher webinars this week, don’t worry! More information about accessing the recording will be released in a separate email later today.
Aspen + Hoopla
If your library subscribes to Hoopla, please fill out this form so we may scope your Hoopla collection in your Aspen catalog. This will adjust what and how records will appear to your patrons.
LocalAdmin Refresher
The 2024 LocalAdmin Refresher is now available on the Evergreen Indiana Learn website. Please read the instructions on how to complete the training. More information can also be found on EI Updates.
Non-EI Library Survey
An email was sent out to the INPubLib listserv earlier this week requesting non-member libraries fill out a survey for the consortium’s strategic plan. If you’d like to see what Carson Block said in his video, you can watch it here.
