Project Gutenberg records

Thanks to a request from the Executive Committee, 525 Project Gutenberg ebook and audiobook MARC records were imported into the Evergreen Indiana catalog in late January 2012. These downloadable classics are made available by Colorado Library Consortium, Douglas County Libraries, Marmot Library Network, Inc and the University of Denver through a project called E-Discover the Classics. The list of titles includes ebook and audiobook classic literature in languages such as English, Spanish, French, German and Chinese. Because these titles are in the public domain, they are available to all members of the consortium.

Reports for collection value

Public libraries are currently working on the LAR report which is due no later than February 29, 2012. Reports that will help you get a detailed or simple estimated collection value are available here:
