SWAN Library Directors & Administrators:
The 2014 Membership Meeting schedule has been approved by the Board and is now available for you:
http://support.swanlibraries.net/system/files/Public/SWAN%20ILS%20Committee…
All meetings have been scheduled in L2 so that you may add them to your Outlook calendars. Currently, they are all listed as located at Burr Ridge; however, the Committee of the Whole meeting locations may change as we work to book those meetings with member libraries.
**If you are interested in hosting a Committee of the Whole meeting at your library, please contact me directly via email. In order to accommodate the group, we would need a meeting room on site capable of holding at least 50 visitors. If you have any other questions, just ask! Thank you for your consideration.

The SWAN Board Special Election to fill our one vacated at-large seat is now open:

Our election poll will be open until 5 p.m. CST on Friday, November 29th. Only library directors may vote, and each library may vote only once.

SWAN Member Libraries & Technology Staff:
Please see the linked memo "Network Changes Memo #5: Member Library Email Aliases", and route to your appropriate library staff. This memo outlines changes to the SWAN email domain from the previous MLS address to the new notices.swanlibraries.net address. No action is required of member libraries, except to update their email contact lists and spam filters, as necessary. The cutover will take place on Monday, November 25th.
The following information should be provided to your IT and library staff that might communicate via the three-letter alias addresses:
http://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2013-11-11/network-migration-project-…
If you should encounter problems following the cutover date, or if you have any questions/comments about the transition, please submit a ticket to the SWANTech Queue of the SWAN ticket system or contact the SWAN Help Desk directly at 630-734-5153.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience during the transition process.

+++ Please route to appropriate personnel +++
We are pleased to report that Maywood PLD is re-opening tomorrow.
According to the Village Free Press<http://thevillagefreepress.org/2013/11/09/rep-welch-local-officials-maywood…>, " Library Director Stan Huntington announced the library's new operating hours: Mon. - Wed. (12pm - 7pm), Tue. - Thu. (12pm - 5:30pm), Saturdays (9am - 5:30pm). The library won't be opening Monday, due to Veteran's Day." The library will be closed on Friday and Sunday as it was previously.
As you are aware, SWAN staff have made numerous changes to the loan rules, patron block table, Maywood patron holds, and Maywood OPAC options. SWAN staff will reverse all of these temporary changes and return them to their previous status by tomorrow's re-opening.
If you have been renewing Maywood PLD patron cards at your library, you can begin referring their patrons back to Maywood PLD.
Everyone have a great week and congratulations Maywood on your re-opening!
