Evergreen Indiana is a consortium of public, school and institutional libraries located throughout Indiana that use the Evergreen library software system. Patrons of member libraries can use their Evergreen Indiana library card to view the catalogs and borrow materials from the other member libraries. What are the benefits?
Will there be any changes at my local library? Yes. To ensure consistency of service across the network, membership in Evergreen Indiana requires libraries to adopt and abide by the common policies of the consortium. As a result, some policy changes will occur. These changes will take effect December 9th. What are some of the changes?
How will the switch to Evergreen affect library service? It will be necessary to close the library on a few occasions for training purposes and to re-barcode the collection. Advance notice of these closures will be posted in the library and on our website. There will come a time shortly before the switch to Evergreen that we will not be able to add new items to our database. As a result, there may be a delay in the availability of new items and requests. Also, we will not be able to issue library cards or change existing patron information shortly before the switchover. For more information about Evergreen Indiana,including the list of participating Evergreen libraries, visit the Indiana State Library at www.in.gov/library/evergreen.htm.
