+About This Documentation\r
+------------------------\r
\r
This guide was produced by the Evergreen Documentation Interest Group (DIG), consisting of numerous volunteers from many different organizations. The DIG has drawn together, edited, and supplemented pre-existing documentation contributed by libraries and consortia running Evergreen that were kind enough to release their documentation into the creative commons. For a full list of authors and contributing organizations, see Appendix B, About this Documentation. Just like the software it describes, this guide is a work in progress, continually revised to meet the needs of its users, so if you find errors or omissions, please let us know, by contacting the DIG facilitators at docs@evergreen-ils.org.\r

Copies of this guide can be accessed in PDF and HTML formats from http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/.\r
