Colleagues, Last week the Asbury Seminary and Asbury University librarians made a decision to move to Evergreen. There is still no official commitment from our administrations, but we do not expect any objections if the migration costs can be held to a reasonable level. We anticipate a two year glide path before going live for the entire system, but it is my hope to go live with the Acquisitions module much sooner than that. We are busily working on our 2.3 install, and I am starting to supply DIG with my notes and questions, which they may choose to use, in some form, in the Getting Started chapter of the Evergreen Manual.
One thing that I hoped would make our install easier would be to have read only administrative access to a demo installation. That way we could look at each of the dropdown menus and do some copying and pasting. I've tried accessing 2.3 public server at demo.ils.edoceo.com without success. The Status and Version of the host connect OK when using the staff client build 2012.45-demo.exe. But, when I enter the Username: egsa / Password: egsa, a Login failed message pops up. The Workstation message is: Not yet configured for the specified server. So ... like ... what do I do now? ... Don Don Butterworth Faculty Associate / Librarian III B.L.
