SWAN BLUEcloud Visibility Quotation: Revised per Request
by Aaron Skog 17 Dec '15

17 Dec '15

SWAN Board: Attached is the SirsiDynix quotation I received this evening from our sales rep Jeff Myers. The board packet contains the quotation at the 40% discount, and the requested changes from our legal counsel Kathie Henn from Klein Thorpe. Basically, I got everything I asked for: the 40% RAILS discount, a two-year term (instead of three years), and a complete termination with refund if the service is not complete and operating by March 31, 2016. I am providing this for those that wish to review it electronically. I will have printed copies for the meeting.

by Brande Overbey 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

SWAN Board Members: The Friday 12/18 meeting packet is now available for you: https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/2015-12-18/pa… The meeting packet is 65 pages long. A bulk of that is the first draft of our FY17 budget, and the contract for BLUECloud Visibility for your review. We do not plan to go into lunch for this meeting, as we also have a Network Administrator applicant interview set for 12:30 on Friday that Aaron and I must attend. Our apologies for the delay on this packet! Hope to see you on Friday, Brande Overbey SWAN Office Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5164 Fax: 630.734.5056 brande.overbey(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:brande.overbey@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

Board Packet for Next Week
by Brande Overbey 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

Hi guys, We just wanted to send a quick email to let you know that our board packet next week will likely be a little later than we typically get it out to you. We had an all-day meeting at Morris Public Library today (RAILS Consortia Retreat), and Monday/Tuesday will also be quite busy for Aaron and me with our SWAN holiday party and some Network Admin interviews. We will have the packet out to you no later than Wednesday AM, but hopefully much earlier. Take care and have a wonderful weekend!

2016 Board Events Calendar
by Brande Overbey 03 Dec '15

03 Dec '15

Hi SWAN Board, Attached is our proposed calendar of board events for 2016. For those of you unfamiliar with this document, this is what I'll be using to keep us on track with our agenda topics each month and with Aaron's and my administrative tasks (budget, audit, etc.). I've also converted the topics for COWs to SWANcoms, and noted the potential budget meeting that may need to be held in February. Anything else that I'm forgetting? Thank you!
