Lunch with SWAN Management Staff
by Brande Redfield 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hello all, The SWAN team really enjoyed sitting in on the board meeting today, and would like to get to know you all better! We were curious if everyone would be available to stick around after a board meeting to join us all for lunch out here one day. Perhaps after the 7/18 meeting? I know David would not be able to make the 7/15 meeting. Does anyone else have any conflicts or preferences? Have a great weekend, Brande Redfield SWAN Office Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5164 Fax: 630.734.5056 brande.redfield(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:brande.redfield@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

Overivew of SWAN Migration: Big Picture
by Aaron Skog 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

SWAN Board, Last month at our meeting at Prairie State College, the SWAN Board discussed how we should handle consortia-wide decisions for the migration. The guidelines we decided upon were to focus on (1) policy changes, and (2) financial impact. As the SWAN migration comes into rapid focus, I would like to have my management team provide you an overview tomorrow of the big picture changes. I have asked Member Services Manager Kate Boyle, Special Project Coordinator Rebecca Malinowski, Bibliographic Services Manager Kate Boyle, and IT Manager Steven Schlewitt to join us at the meeting tomorrow. Kate will present some of the big changes we could take within our new Symphony ILS configuration. Much of the big changes only came into focus this week when we received our first draft of the migration timeline from SirsiDynix. The changes we will discuss are big and involve the consortium taking a patron-centric approach.
