Come hear about all the latest & greatest in Evergreen with your favorite guides to the world of Evergreen, Andrea & Ruth, in their 5th annual rundown of new features. We’ll talk about what went into Evergreen for 3.11 and 3.12 in 2023, as well as what’s potentially coming in 2024 (which may also be the year for Evergreen 4.0!) We promise there will be lots of exciting screenshots and probably a few bad jokes.
Building a Culture of Open Source Contribution
Community contributions are critical to the success and sustainability of the Evergreen project. Most of these contributions are expected to come from employees of Evergreen libraries, consortia and service providers, but other work responsibilities often take priority, leading to inconsistent work on the project. How can managers build a culture where open-source contributions are valued and encouraged? In this session, leaders from Bibliomation, Georgia PINES, and NOBLE will share their methods for encouraging staff to be active participants in the Evergreen community. Attendees are invited to bring their own tips and ideas for ensuring their organizations are actively working with the community.
MarcEdit
Terry Reese will make a special appearance as an invited expert speaker to discuss the power of MarcEdit and how it can be used to streamline and enhance the care and maintenance of bib records in Evergreen. MarcEdit is a metadata suite that is used by tens of thousands of librarians annually from around the world. Find out more about Terry Reese and his work at reeset.net.
