<span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif"><font size="2">EVERGREEN COMMUNITY HOLDS ANNUAL CONFERENCE<br><br>The
2019 Evergreen International Conference was held recently in Valley
Forge, Pennsylvania, for users and potential users of the Evergreen
library management system.<br><br>The three-day conference, plus a
preconference day, had 169 attendees for sessions ranging all across
library and system interests. Topics included resource sharing,
collection development, e-resources, cataloging, acquisitions, coding,
features in upcoming releases and eight different interest groups.<br><br>The keynote speaker was Ather Sharif, award-winning expert on improving web accessibility for people with disabilities.<br><br>At
the conference, it was announced that 40 members of the Evergreen
community had written software accepted into Evergreen’s two releases
since last year’s meeting with 754 separate commits and 49 people had
tested and approved software, demonstrating the continued strength and
participation of the Evergreen community.<br><br>Local arrangements and expertise were provided by the Pennsylvania Integrated Library System (PaILS).<br><br>Evergreen
continues to be the leading ILS for consortia and delivers local
flexibility and granularity of policies that no other software can
match. Evergreen 3.3 continues to deliver the most interoperability for
libraries via its truly open APIs. Evergreen 3.3 is available to all
for download at no cost from the Evergreen web site at
<a href="https://evergreen-ils.org/" target="_blank">https://evergreen-ils.org/</a> Evergreen is open-source software, licensed
under the GNU GPL, version 2 or later.<br><br>The Evergreen community
is made up of individuals, libraries, companies, and other organizations
that support the Evergreen Integrated Library System. Evergreen is
highly-scalable software that helps patrons find library materials and
helps libraries manage, catalog, and circulate those materials, no
matter how large or complex the libraries. More than 2,000 libraries
around the world use Evergreen<br></font></span><br><br>

<div>EVERGREEN PROJECT NAMES TWO NEW CORE COMMITTERS<br><br><br>The
Evergreen library system community named two new core committers at
their recent Evergreen International Conference, Jane Sandberg of
Linn-Benton Community College and Jason Boyer of the Indiana State
Library. The 13 active core committers are entrusted with the
responsibility of approving new code for Evergreen's semi-annual
releases.<br><br>Jane Sandberg<br><br>Jane Sandberg is the Electronic
Resources Librarian at Linn-Benton Community College. She's been
interested in open source library software since her library school
days, an interest that only intensified when she started using Evergreen
in 2013. She also founded and leads the Student Success Working Group
which focuses on connecting academic and school libraries in the
Evergreen community. Jane has also been focusing on ways to improve
accessibility in the Evergreen OPAC and staff client. <br><br>Jane is
thrilled to be a core committer. In this role, she is looking forward
to developing her skills at providing feedback on submitted patches, and
doing what she can to move Evergreen forward. “It’s a really exciting
project to work with the build team and be one of the first people to
see what the next build looks like.” <br><br>-----<br>Jason Boyer<br><br>Jason
Boyer is the head of the MIS Division of the Indiana State Library and
has worked in libraries since 2000. He has worked in an Evergreen
library since 2008 and has been contributing patches nearly as long.
Jason is vice president of the Evergreen Project board and a member of
the planning committee for the annual Evergreen International
Conference.
<br><br>Jason is honored to be added as a core committer; Evergreen is
very important to him and the opportunity to have a more direct impact
on its progress is exciting. He also hopes to assist others in improving
Evergreen by also offering feedback and support to patch writers and
testers. <br></div><div><br></div><div><br>Evergreen continues to be
