Acquisitions webinar

As many of you know, we have been working with three of our member libraries and other Evergreen consortia since May to create documentation and set up the acquisitions module for our member libraries to use. To this end, a webinar will be offered on September 28 for libraries interested in using the acquisitions module in Evergreen. This live webinar will be an introduction to acquisitions overall, as well as in Evergreen Indiana. Attendees will have the chance to learn about the major functions of Evergreen Acquisitions in order to assist in making an informed decision about the implementation of the module at their library. Q&A to follow. 1 Technology LEU
