Every other month, on the night of the third Wednesday, our ILS host updates our Evergreen servers. The updates include feature and security patches to ensure that our Evergreen system has the most up to date features and fixes.

September 21, 2022

Version 3.8.1
Changes:

  • No staff interface changes. Applied patches improve system performance related to batch edits in the Holdings Editor and Items Out

Test server updates:
These changes will be applied to the production server with the next update.

  • Improve Holds Pull List – print in landscape mode, returns the ability to print the pull list in landscape and fixes the tiny font problem.
  • “Refresh penalties” functionality to patron account, allowing staff to update penalties displayed (fines, overdues, etc.) after transactions that would affect the penalty cause.

3.8.1 Release Notes – Evergreen 3.8 Release Notes

June 15, 2022

Version 3.8.0
Changes:

  • Fixes an issue where removing a large number of items from a copy bucket caused system timeouts
  • Fixes the issue with shelving location visibility related to staff permission level
    • For us this will allow all libraries’ staff to see the WEST shelving locations with their normal permissions, once again limiting the ability for staff from one library to edit another library’s items
  • Fixes the issue with creating and saving holdings templates in the updated Holdings Editor
    • This refers to the Holdings Template functions integrated into the Holdings Editor, more testing is needed

Version 3.6.5
Changes:

  • Staff can no longer load the Holdings View for the shared pre-cataloged “title”
  • Note: all pre-cat item records are attached to a single, shared dummy title record. As a result, all libraries’ pre-cat records are attached to one title. There is no holdings maintenance or other library service related purpose for the dummy title record, and there high number of items attached to it prevents the list from fully loading.

Version 3.6.5
Changes:

  • Add book carousels to external websites – this will allow book carousels created in Evergreen to be added to websites other than the Evergreen online catalog. Additional testing will be needed. Note: Library staff can create book widgets/carousels using Syndetics Unbound.
  • Fixes a display issue where information was hidden on small (non-mobile) screens.

November 17, 2021

Evergreen version 3.6.5

Highlights:

  • When Notify by SMS is selected while placing a hold in the staff catalog, the SMS number and carrier fields will also be required.
  • When placing a hold for a patron in the staff catalog, the patron’s preferred name will now be displayed on the Place Hold form, when placing the hold from a catalog search and from the patron record Holds view.
  • If a staff member cancels a large number of holds in a batch in the Holds tab of a bibliographic record, they will now see confirmation that the holds are successfully canceled.
  • The Total Circs field in the Item Status screen now includes an info button that allows staff to easily see a breakdown of the number of total circulations per year. Any legacy circulations that display in this breakdown will have the label ‘Legacy/Not Dated’.
  • To ensure holds are filled as efficiently as possible when the hold pickup location is changed, Evergreen will now continue to target the existing targeted copy if it is still the best item to fill the hold after the pickup location is changed.
  • Evergreen now prevents staff users from logging in to the staff client using an inactive barcode.
    • NOTE: WLS IT staff believe this fix has caused patrons to also no longer be able to log in to the online catalog when they have an inactive barcode as their OPAC Username
