<div dir="ltr">Hi Kathy,<div>Overall I think that it looks very good and I appreciate you taking it on. The thing that strikes me about our press releases is that they're informative but not as "market-y" as our competitors. (For example, a III Sierra Press Release: <a href="https://www.iii.com/news-events/pr/innovative-delivers-powerful-new-features-sierra-release-21">https://www.iii.com/news-events/pr/innovative-delivers-powerful-new-features-sierra-release-21</a>) My absolute favorite thing in that press release is this statement, "According to surveys completed by Innovative partner libraries, providing open architecture is a top priority. As a result, Sierra Release 2.1 increases the simplicity of these enterprise-wide integrations across the Innovative partner network."</div><div><br></div><div>Do you see how the wording makes it seem like they're being responsive to their users' desires to have "open architecture" but they actually don't address it at all? Worse, the "Innovative partner network." doesn't sound very open at all. But people will remember the words and they're left with a general feeling that Sierra is "open" and "powerful" because those are the words that are used.</div><div><br></div><div>When I read our press release I was left with the sense that Evergreen's privacy and security was somehow lacking prior to this release... which isn't true. I'd like to suggest we consider focusing on more "marketing" language in our press releases and tooting Evergreen's horn a bit more.</div><div><br></div><div>So, maybe the title is Evergreen Release 2.10 Takes Security to Unparalleled Levels</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Protecting patron privacy in modern ILSs is something that requires vigilance and evolution.</span><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Evergreen, which has long taken various technical measures to protect </span><span style="font-size:12.8px">patron privacy, has now added several additional layers of encryption to user passwords. </span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"></div><div>This release also unveils online circulation and cataloging for beta testing. This marks the mid-way point of the transition of Evergreen to a web-based ILS which will be delivered seamlessly to staff via the browser of their choice. The web client will allow staff the freedom to perform their work wherever their job takes them, on a desktop, tablet, or phone on any OS. <span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><br></div><div>Evergreen continues to be the leading ILS for consortia and delivers local flexibility and granularity of policies that no other software can match. Evergreen 2.10 maintains robust performance on its open PostgreSQL database and continues to deliver the most interoperability for libraries via its truly open APIs.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Etc. etc. You get my point.</div><div>Thoughts?</div><div>Grace</div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 21, 2016 at 2:16 PM, Andrea Buntz Neiman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aneiman@kent.lib.md.us" target="_blank">aneiman@kent.lib.md.us</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
