Attention: Future EG-IN Server Move
The servers that house the Evergreen Indiana databases will be moved to a different data center in the not-too-distant future. This means that the servers will be completely offline for that time period. More information on dates and times will be provided as soon as we know.
Annual Conference
Mark your calendars! The Evergreen Indiana Conference has been scheduled for Friday, August 15th at the Indiana State Library. It is free to attend!
Refresher Reminders
Next week, we will be sending emails out to those that have not taken one or both of the annual refreshers based on their staff working account permissions. If you receive an email and have already taken the listed webinar, please let Britta know. There is bound to be missed information. Also, if you have already taken the refresher(s) before now, but your account is not up-to-date (does not have an expiration date of 2026-03-01), please let us know. This is only a reminder – you still have until March 1st to complete the training(s).
Double Check Your Slips
Please make sure to double check your transit bag slips when a library has multiple transit locations. We want to make sure that patrons receive their holds in a timely manner! We, the libraries, and the patrons appreciate it!
Return of the Roundtables
Cataloging and Circulation Roundtables have been scheduled every third month on the third Wednesday and Thursday respectively. These are driven by YOU, so please consider submitting topics ahead of time or come prepared to discuss something of interest. The first Cataloging Roundtable is on January 15 at 11am (ET) and the first Circulation Roundtable is scheduled for January 16 at 11am (ET). Only the first circulation roundtable requires registration.
