by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Libraries & Technology Staff: Just a reminder - on Monday, we completed our transition to the new XXS(a)notices.swanlibraries.net<mailto:XXS@notices.swanlibraries.net> aliased email addresses. Your patrons should now be receiving emails from the new address, and should you need to contact another library using the aliased email, please remember to use the @notices.swanlibraries.net domain, in place of the previous MLS domain. Additionally, your library director can now easily modify the email addresses associated with the 3-letter aliases on the http://support.swanlibraries.net homepage under Web Forms > Edit Aliased Email. Please contact us should you encounter any issues with your patron notices, and thank you again for your patience during our network migration.
