Problem with the contracting library patron records and the new 1.5 upgrade to SWAN
by Kate Boyle 30 Aug '13

30 Aug '13

Everyone - Since the recent SWAN upgrade we have experienced a problem with the generic patron records of our Internet Access and Enhanced Access contracting libraries. This problem is causing broken holds and locked records. We have taken actions this morning to freeze all Internet Access and Enhanced Access holds and block these generic patrons from placing any further holds until Innovative has a solution to this problem. Hopefully, this will eliminate the broken holds and locked records problem from occurring in the future. In order to enable these new settings you need to have everyone log out and log back into Millennium at your library. Please spread the word and log out and log in now.

Elmhurst MilCirc update
by Kate Boyle 26 Aug '13

26 Aug '13

*** Please Route to Appropriate Personnel*** Elmhurst will be leaving SWAN this coming weekend. Today we implemented planned changes in MilCirc to Elmhurst parameters. As stated in the memo that was distributed earlier, Elmhurst holds will no longer appear on SWAN title paging lists as of today. In addition, Elmhurst items are no longer holdable to other SWAN patrons. However, SWAN items may still be trapping holds for pickup at Elmhurst upon checkin. Please attempt to decline all holds for pickup at Elmhurst PL. After Elmhurst patron holds have been migrated to their new system, SWAN staff will cancel all the remaining Elmhurst patron holds on SWAN. If you should have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me. Have a good week.
