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.
