For library staff new to the consortium, please take the Getting Started Evergreen Indiana Moodle course first. This is a great overview of what the Evergreen Indiana consortium is, how it is governed, and important communication information.

See the Calendar for any upcoming live trainings and any other related events.

Please select one of the tracks below to view the required and recommended trainings for working staff accounts.  Contact Britta with any questions.

Required trainings are marked with ‘**’ and were based off of the Staff Working Profile Permissions table.

Please note that the number of LEUs a recorded webinar is worth may be different than when it was presented in a live setting. Most recordings are edited for conciseness before being uploaded to the Evergreen Indiana Training YouTube channel. The webinars are being looked at constantly for changes or additions so that the most accurate information is shared with the consortium.

LEU certificates earned by watching the recorded webinar should be managed in-house. Certificates will only be distributed by the Evergreen Administration Team for those attending live webinars.
