[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] "Evergreen in Action" is now available

[Kathy Lussier]

We* are happy to announce the publication of a new book about Evergreen: 
"Evergreen in Action: So You've Installed Evergreen, Now What?"

If you are a new Evergreen administrator, this book is for you. Learn 
about migrating data, importing records, creating circulation and hold 
policies, designing your catalog, setting permissions for staff, and 
disaster recovery.

The book is available for purchase or for free download at 
http://evergreen-ils.org/book. All proceeds go to the Evergreen project 
via the Software Freedom Conservancy.

HELP US MAKE IT BETTER! We started writing something, but we need the 
help of the community to polish off the chapters and to add content we 
couldn't cover in a two-and-a-half day sprint.

PROOFREAD! If you are knowledgeable about a book topic, take some time 
to review the chapter and make direct edits and additions to the content.

ADD STUFF! Some topics we didn't have time to cover include 
configuration for reports and serial functions, creating search indexes, 
and troubleshooting. We need community volunteers to take the lead in 
creating those chapters.

EVANGELIZE! Spread the word about "Evergreen in Action" on social 
networks, blogs or forums where people are seeking help to get up and 
running with Evergreen. Link to http://evergreen-ils.org/book.

for more ideas on how you can help improve the book. We would love any 
help you can give.
