Evergreen August Upgrade

NOBLE will be upgrading our system from Release 3.13 to release 3.15 overnight on Monday, August 11. With this release, we are also planning to change our upgrade schedule to just one upgrade per year, with a goal of performing the annual upgrade either in early June or mid-to-late August. The new schedule will reduce the number of upgrade disruptions at your libraries while also keeping us on releases supported by the Evergreen community and up to date with new features.

Here are the recordings from the two recent Evergeen Upgrade sessions.

We’ve scheduled two of P’s and Q’s sessions to discuss all the problems and questions that tend to follow a new release. Hope you’ll join us!

Nice to meet you, NOBLE!

My name is Chris Amorosi and I am starting at NOBLE’s new Bibliographic Services Supervisor. From my very first job as a teenage library page at the Saugus Public Library to seven years as the Head of Technical Services at the Peabody Institute Library of Danvers, I’ve spent most of my working life at NOBLE libraries and have always lived in a NOBLE community. I was also a long time member and sometimes chair of ERDWG where I got to work with other librarians all over the system on improving the catalog and e-resource access.

I’m excited for this new and challenging direction for my career! I’ll get to support library patrons as I have done and also work together with all my librarian colleagues more closely than I could before. I’m looking forward to supporting you on all things bibliographic.
