Welcome

Welcome to the Equinox Training Materials Guide for SELCO. This guide contains training and reference materials related to working with Evergreen ILS and Aspen Discovery and it is intended to serve as a central hub for resources to carry you through migration and beyond. Training resources are broken into two distinct sections. You can navigate to the various resource pages using the drop-down menu in the upper right corner of the screen.

1.  The Training Planning Hub page will serve as a centralized location for custom materials such as recording of your training sessions, outlines, and slides.

2. Evergreen and Aspen pages share a variety of helpful resources such as how-to handouts and instructional videos. These materials may not include details on all the best practices for your specific consortium.  As you get comfortable with the new software, we encourage you to adapt these materials to reflect your local policies and workflows. We've also linked to relevant sections of the official Evergreen documentation where available. 

The resources linked on these pages are to PDFs and Vimeo video links. They will open into new tabs. Please reach out to the training team if other formats are needed to make these materials accessible for you.

We are looking forward to helping you with this exciting transition!
