Due to a delay in getting the connections to the Evergreen server at Niagara College completed, there will be a change in timing for our switch to Evergreen. We will continue to be closed on Saturday August 28 so that some preliminary work can be done.
The library's catalogue will continue to be operational so you can still search for items, place holds and check your library record.
We will stop circulating items on our system Wednesday September 1 at 6:00 p.m. We will do manual circulation until Thursday September 2 at 8:00 p.m. The new system should be operating on Friday September 3. The library's catalogue will not be available during this period.
Thank you for your patience during this delay.

10 Days and Counting to Evergreen
In a week and a half, the Library will be moving to our new Evergreen system.
The Library's online catalogue will shut down at 5:00 p.m. on Friday August 27. Library patrons will be unable to renew items or place holds until Monday August 30. Catalogue searching will also not be available. If you try to go on the website, you will get an error message.
We hope that regular library online service will resume on Monday.
Please be patient with us as we make the switch. You will like the changes!

Countdown to Evergreen
In just over two weeks, the Lincoln Public Library will be migrating to the Evergreen Integrated Library System. Lincoln has joined with Niagara College, the Fort Erie Public Library, the Niagara-on-the-Lake Public Library and the Pelham Public Library to move to an Open Source system that is also be used by many other libraries in Canada, including Mohawk College.
The Library will close on Saturday August 28 for the changeover. We will reopen on Monday August 30 running the new system. There will extra staff on hand during that week to help with your questions using the inhouse catalogue as well as the website catalogue. All your transactions and holds will be transferred to the new system.
Some of you have noticed that we are asking for email addresses. The Evergreen system has the option for you to receive email notices for overdue materials and holds. It can even send you a notice two days before your materials are due. If you wish to receive email notices, please ask to have the information added to your record the next time you are in the library.
Staff have been receiving training this week on the new product. We are all very excited about the new system and its benefits.
We wish Niagara College good luck as they move to the new system starting the week of August 16.
