I don't know about anyone else's mileage, but in the past few weeks I've had reports of even personal text messages failing delivery. T'would be a shame if we end up chasing our tails trying to fix something we have no control over. I'm not saying this is definitely the case, but it bears conside

After considerable cogitation on this, I've concluded that the answer to #1 should start with a kiosk interface. A kiosk would--or should--only allow actions that are directed and safe, and could therefore serve as a wading pool for newbies. Properly designed and developed, it could educate at th

Note that this functionality was originally provided by the Chrome extension, The Great Suspender. While the original version was considered safe, the latest version is considered malicious; however, there's a fork of the last known safe version available at Github: https://github.com/ITTakes2/the

Re: [Evergreen-general] SMS notice bounce backs

This issue reminded me of a patron inquiry into why we ask for their cellular provider when choosing SMS for notifications. It led me to learn of email to SMS gateways. Although it won't help fix anything, for your reference see below for a list of them. Since Evergreen sends SMS messages via em

I haven't tried it for something like this, but there's a mobile app called Barcode to PC that sounds like it should work by virtue of its ability to send parameters following the barcode. I've used it for straightforward scanning which it did well, but that's about it. See https://barcodetopc.co

I'm also interested in hearing of others' experience with different password maintenance mechanisms. Our consortium is using Microsoft Azure Active Directory with an LDAP connection from Evergreen (to the best of my knowledge). I'm not sure what the root cause is, but we've had no end of problems

To the best of my knowledge, the only time we do double check-in here is when items are returned at our children's self-check. The second check-in by staff is for trapping holds and in-transit items which are otherwise missed at the self-checks. John Lolis Coordinator of Computer Systems 100 Mar

Might anyone know of a browser setting that would fix this? I created a recurring report that's email-enabled; however, when I click on the link in the message, it prompts me for my credentials which fail authentication. This occurs when I'm already logged into Evergreen as well. I was told that
