We want to thank PAILS/SPARK for being kind enough to sponsor our luncheon today during the pre-conference! We could not make the conference work without community members like PAILS and their generosity is appreciated!
Evergreen Conference Thanks Emerald Data
Today the pre-conference begins for the International Evergreen Conference 2017 in Covington, Kentucky. Every year it feels like the pre-conference gets just a bit bigger and this year is no exception. In the early years of the conference we didn’t even worry about registration for it as it was a relatively few handful of developers that showed up for a hackfest. Over the years we have added more and more including community meetings and now two different tracks of three hour workshops and presentations. Along with all of this is a need for community support to make it happen. So, we want to thank both our wonderful volunteers and a sponsor that helped make this happen this year – Emerald Data. Emerald Data provides support services for Evergreen and has been a long time community member so we appreciate their support and involvement in our community.

Evergreen Community Survey
Once again Spring comes around and with it the Evergreen International Conference. With the conference a month away we are preparing to do the second Evergreen Community Annual Report to be distributed at the conference and online.
The Outreach Committee is working to make this happen but one of the most important parts is capturing a picture of the libraries who make up our community and that is where we need your help! As we did last year we have a survey for Evergreen libraries to respond to : https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YS5RLRG
Whether you are one location, a large consortium, a corporate library or anything else, if you use Evergreen we want to hear from you. We got great responses last year so I hope everyone who responded does so again. However, there are also parts of the community that I know did not get a chance to respond so don’t assume that someone else from your library will. Make sure your library is represented!
Again: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/YS5RLRG
Also, if you don’t already follow the community Evergreen account on twitter please do so, @EvergreenILS and follow the #evgils hash tag. Conference tweets are going out with the #evgils17 hashtag including recognizing our great conference sponsors and exhibitors so let them know you care about their support of the conference.
