Hi,
We have been on Evergreen since March, and this is the first time this came
up. How would one add a custom See Also reference? There does not seem to be a
way to do this under Manage Authorities. We are in a consortium so I will
likely not do it, but am curious nonetheless. This was
Josh,
While we don't do centralized cataloging for the entire consortium,
individual systems catalog at their headquarters and then send the items
to owning branches. The items are in process until they are received by
circulation at each branch. That is how in process was designed to
function
Thanks Elaine, I found out that the issue I was having with the specific
title that seemed to fill the wrong hold was because our migrated holds all had

We've been struggling to get Evergreen Acquistions set up and working, and are
gaining ground.
But it's time for us to evaluate the pro/con of even using an acquisition

trouble than it was worth. We were tracking in multiple places. Now, once

Hi Sharon,
We (I) empathize. Sincerely. It's not easy. We use all of it, or try. We've
learned a lot and keep on learning.
In our consortium we currently have three library systems using Acquisitions.
The systems are different in size, budget, workflows and vendors. Each

Scott,
I am not a cataloger, but I work a lot with authorities in EG. I am a
little confused by your questions. Again this may be because I am not
a cataloger.

We are just gearing up to set up an instance of Evergreen and are wondering
if anyone is running the system on a hosted VPS service like Linode. It
seems like a reasonable solution in our case since we don't have IT staff to
support a server, etc. I'm curious to know if others have done this and
