18 Hours of Evanced was a huge success. Here are the top ten things we learned from our time with libraries around the world! Special thanks to our partner companies Anode, Highsmith, DEMCO, NoveList, Kimberly Bolan & Associates and Envisionware. We learned about so many great topics like library management, new library products, library design, library tools and more. Not to mention cool products like LibraryAware, FireSign, and a host of products from Envisionware.
