+Introduction

+
+About this Documentation
+------------------------
+
+This guide is produced by the Evergreen Documentation Interest Group (DIG),
+consisting of numerous volunteers from many different organizations. The DIG
+had drawn together, edited, and supplemented pre-existing documentation
+contributed by libraries and consortia running Evergreen that was kind enough
+to release their documentation into the creative commons. Please see the
+<<attributions,Attributions>> section for a full list of authors and
+contributing organizations. 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.
+
+This guide to Evergreen is intended to meet the needs of library workers
+who work with the tools assoicated with Evergreen. 
+It is organized into Parts, Chapters, and Sections addressing key
+aspects of the software. 
+
+Copies of this guide can be accessed in PDF and HTML formats from http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/.
+
+About Evergreen
+---------------
+
+Evergreen is an open source library automation software designed to meet the 
+needs of the very smallest to the very largest libraries and consortia. Through
+its staff interface, it facilitates the management, cataloging, and circulation
+of library materials, and through its online public access interface it helps
+patrons find thos materials. 
+
+The Evergreen software is freely licensed under the GNU General Public License, 
+meaning that it is free to download, use, view, modify, and share. It has an
+active development and user community, as well as several companies offering
+migration, support, hosting, and development services. 
+
+The community's development requirements state that Evergreen must be:
+
+* Stable, even under extreme load. 
+* Robust, and capable of handling a high volume of transactions and simultaneous users. 
+* Flexible, to accomodate the varied needs of libraries.
+* Secure, to protect our patrons' privacy and data. 
+* User-friendly, to facilitate patron and staff use of the system. 
+
+Evergreen, which first launched in 2006 now powers over 544 libraries of every
+type - public, academic, special, school, and even tribal and home libraries -
+in over a dozen countries worldwide.
