With help from the IMLS grant, we hope to develop some specific products that will benefit the entire Evergreen community.  Here are some of the ideas that were listed in the grant application:

• Peer-to-peer Support: grassroots, collaborative process that incorporates continuous improvement.
• Roadmap to OS Toolset: tools needed to plan and implement an OSLS migration including assessment templates, documentation, work plans, training curricula.
• Dynamic Website of Critical Resources: website will provide libraries with resources, contacts, and communication opportunities.
• Mentoring: a program in which partner library staff with more experience will provide guidance to libraries with less experience.
• Support Services: access to technical experts that can provide specialized assistance
• Promotion of OSLS: through seminars and workshops, OSLS will be promoted throughout the larger library community.
• Broad-based Training Program: technical and organizational training to move libraries into a new self-empowered paradigm

As we develop some of the products, we'll link to them here.
