Consortium Updates

January 5, 2026 Update

Patron Search Issue

We wanted to send out a reminder about the patron search issue that keeps popping up. Here’s how you can fix it:

Sometimes attempting to perform a patron search yields zero results even though you know there should be at least something there. This is a bug that was found in Evergreen after our most recent upgrade (Dec, 2025) that happened because of the way the library selector (home library) function now stores its information.

To troubleshoot:

  1. Change the selected branch location by selecting and clicking another branch in the dropdown.
  2. Reload the page (this can either be done directly with the browser or using the Search dropdown link.

If the reload doesn’t work, try performing the “Empty cache and hard reload” option for your browser. 

Aspen reindex scheduled for Jan 10-11

Our next library launching in the Evergreen Indiana Library Consortium is Edinburgh Wright-Hageman Public Library next week on January 13th! That means this weekend we will be reindexing Aspen to accommodate their new configurations and material. The Aspen catalog will not be available during this time and the connection between Evergreen Indiana and your Aspen catalog will be severed. Evergreen Indiana will still be available to use. The reindex will take anywhere between 30 and 37 hours to complete.

As a heads up, we will also be scheduling a full reindex March 7 and 8 to prepare for Delphi’s launch into the consortium on March 10th.

These have been added to the EILC calendar.

REMINDER ABOUT SERVER MOVE

The Evergreen Indiana servers are being moved from an off-site data center to the Indiana Office of Technology’s data center on the government campus. In addition to saving some money, this move will put the data center closer to the Evergreen Admin Team. All good news! The bad news? The servers will be offline while Evergreen and IOT staff physically move them from one data center to another. The move will take place on January 31st and February 1st. What does this mean for your library? The Evergreen system will be completely down during this time. This also includes Evergreen and ISL listservs, the helpdesk, evergreenindiana.org, and ConnectIN email and websites. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we complete the server move!  

tl;dr

  • All Evergreen Indiana and State Library servers are being moved January 31st and February 1st
  • All Evergreen Indiana servers and websites will be completely down
  • All Evergreen and ISL listservs and helpdesks will be completely down
  • ConnectIN email and websites will be completely down
