Join representatives from large consortia to discuss how library items move from location to location, and the implications of that infrastructure for Evergreen use. We will be joined by Galen Charlton to discuss new avenues of development in Evergreen to help the software better prioritize hold transits based on distance, time and costs.
How Two Library Consortia Approach Staff Account Security
Managing staff accounts can be a juggling act. Join the staff of NC Cardinal and PaILS as we discuss the various technical and less technical layers of staff account management and permissions that we’ve implemented in our respective consortia. We’ll discuss topics such as permission projects, management of accounts across a consortium, as well as development for the safety and security of ILS accounts & data.

What (free & low-cost) tools exist to ensure your communications are aesthetically pleasing and represent your consortial branding? PaILS staff Katie Greenleaf Martin and Katherine Dannehl will share tips for consistent and substantive communication to your consortium’s membership.
