Setting up a Workstation:

Before logging into Evergreen, you must first register a workstation from your browser.

  1. When you login for the first time, you will arrive at a screen asking that you register your workstation

Register a New Workstation screen 

     2.  Create a unique workstation name. Follow the standard naming convention established at your library to ensure that you are identifying the workstation location within the branch and that no workstation name is duplicated. Consistent and unique workstation names are important for reporting purposes.

     3.  Click Register

     4.  After confirming the new workstation is listed in the Workstations Registered With This Browser menu, click Use Now to return to the login page. Your newly-registered workstation should be selected by default on the login page. After successfully creating a workstation, you will have to log in again.

Basic Login

  1. The default URL to log into the client is https://next.nccardinal.org/eg/staff/login.
  2. Enter your Username and Password.
  3. Verify that the correct workstation is selected and click Sign In

Logging Out

To log out of the client:

  1. Click the menu button to the right of your user name in the top-right corner of the window.
  2. Select Log Out

Note:  Exiting all browser windows will automatically log you out of the web client. If you only close the tab where the web client is loaded, you will remain logged in.
