The document Cynthia attached contained a universal truth in the very first bullet point. Staff may intend to test the system, but they will not get around to it. In spite of ample time to test, our staff has been terrible about getting on there and learning how to use it. Most seem to think

Couldn't agree more re staff testing - our one do-over would be changes to the way we did staff testing/training. In a past migration project at another library, when our vendor did the training months before we went live (we had no choice about timing), I knew staff wouldn't retain what they'd

Hi, Regarding the discussion about training, there are companies, in addition to my employer, Equinox, that provide training on the Evergreen ILS. Lyrasis and Alpha-G come to mind, as well as Dan Scott of Laurentian University, although I’m sure there are others that also offer training.

Hi all, we've recently migrated to Evergreen, and now that we have things pretty much working the way we want them to, we need to do an inventory, because our legacy system was losing it's marbles, and about 1900 items didn't make the migration. Does anyone know an easy way to go about this?

If any of you all wanted to 'open source' your training curriculums, I bet that would be incredibly valuable. (It's not code, so it wouldnt' be 'open source', it would be more like creative commons, but you know what i mean). On Jun 15, 2010, at 12:14 PM, Dan Scott wrote: On Tue,
