by Steven Schlewitt 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

SWAN Member Libraries and Information Technology Staff: To accommodate a scheduled ICN upgrade, SWAN will experience a brief network outage on Tuesday, December 2nd at 10:15pm. We expect that the outage should last no longer than a few minutes, but this may be long enough to disrupt connectivity to your SIP2 connected devices and other 3rd party services. Additionally, the SWAN catalog and Millennium clients will be unavailable briefly during the outage. Please plan accordingly for this outage and be sure to check your 3rd party services and hardware the following morning. Should you experience any issues at all, please contact the SWAN service desk at 630.734.5153. Thank you for your understanding.

They are both related to the browser : * pop-up blocker * compatibility settings As to your choice of browser, according to SirsiDynix the preferred browser is Internet Explorer. However, a number of our libraries have reported success using Firefox.

*Action Required* Library Enterprise Configuration & Pick Up Anywhere
by Aaron Skog 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

To SWAN Member Libraries: This is a fun survey. You get to select a theme for the Enterprise OPAC we are building for your library, upload your library logo, and supply some information about your library preferences for the new catalog. There are a number of areas of the survey we anticipate requires some discussion within your library. To assist with this discussion among your staff, the survey is enabled to allow saving in draft form and retrieving it later for completion. In case it isn't clear, there is only one submission per library. Please complete the following survey on Enterprise by End of Business on Friday November 28th. This survey will help SWAN staff as we move forward in the building your new library catalog. You can access the survey directly<http://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/form169/index.html> or by visiting the following SWAN support webpage: https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2014-11-06/action-required-survey-en… SWAN is utilizing a series of surveys to collect information about your library. This is survey #4. The sooner we are able to gather this information and begin configuring Enterprise, the sooner you will all have access to your libraries' profiles. If we have not received a response from your library by Friday, November 28th, your Enterprise profile will be configured with the SWAN defaults. If you have any questions, please email MigrationHelp(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:MigrationHelp@swanlibraries.net> Aaron Skog SWAN Executive Director 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5122 Fax: 630.734.5056 aaron.skog(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:aaron.skog@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net
