A delayed greeting. Welcome to all those who sent introductions through the list this morning. I'm excited to see this much participation from one institution. I'm in the midst of all the other librarying things, but wanted to say "hi" and do a brief introduction. Please pardon if this sounds off the cuff. It's off the cuff.
My name is Ruth Frasur, and I'm the Director of the Hagerstown - Jefferson Township Library in Hagerstown, Indiana. We have been a member of the Evergreen Indiana consortium since 2009. Prior to working in Hagerstown (I started in 2011), I worked at Union County Public Library in a variety of roles. UCPL was one of the pilot libraries in EG-IN, going live in the autumn of 2008. Currently, I am in my final year of a 3 year term on the Evergreen Indiana Executive Committee (governing body for the consortium) and my 1st year on the Evergreen Oversight Board (governing body for the EG software project). I. Love. Evergreen. There are many reasons why but they can be mostly distilled down to good software developed by great people working together to make libraries work in a way that makes us better. Personally, I'm married to a very long-suffering "young" man and have three sons - all nearing or at the age of majority. I also have a dog that loves me best, and a cat that is domesticated insomuch as she chooses to be on any given day. You'll find me, on a calm day, in the #evergreen channel in IRC using the handle "rfrasur." I know. It's really creative. On crazier days, it's not worth finding me. Also, let it be known that I am neither a software developer nor a system administrator nor a particularly detail oriented person when it comes to learning the technical aspects of Evergreen. I'm a cheerleader and a person connector. So, be well and be welcome. We're stoked (yeah, that's right) that you're here.
