2.2. Should You Use Hatch with the Web Client?

Last Updated 05/16/2023


Do You Need Hatch?

One of the options to consider when using the Evergreen web client in 3.1 is whether to use a Chrome browser extension called Hatch. After consulting with other library consortia and reviewing the documentations, we're not recommending Hatch as a default. We've learned that it can have benefits, but it can also introduce complications into your experience. 

CW Mars has a document, Do I Need To Install Hatch, that walks you through the decision-making process on whether you need to install Hatch on your machine. This is a downloadable PDF.

If You Do Not Use Hatch

CW Mars also provides a document, Auto Print Options, that provides information on additional print services available for Chrome and Firefox. This is a downloadable PDF.

Optional Set Up and Configuration for Chrome

The following documents will provide you with additional information about setting up Chrome to work effectively with Evergreen.
