Reporting at SAMS

Greensburg-Decatur County Contractual Public Library hosted the 2014 SAMS conference. Anna Goben, Evergreen Indiana Coordinator, presented on the reporting module in Evergreen. Several requests were had to have access to the slides from both attendees and EI staff unable to attend the conference. They are provided here for you to review. They are also available as a printable PDF on GDCPL’s SAMS site with many other outstanding presentations from this year’s conference!
