SWAN 6/5 Quarterly Meeting: SirsiDynix CEO Bill Davison Presenting & Live Broadcast 9:30AM

by Aaron Skog

To SWAN Library Directors & Administrators: I am pleased to announce that SirsiDynix will be presenting at our SWAN Quarterly meeting on Thursday June 5th. SirsiDynix CEO Bill Davison will be on site along with four members of his team to share with everyone a lot of great information that will get you excited for the big changes coming in SWAN. Based on what SWAN staff and I saw presented at the COSUGI conference in Detroit, we encourage attendance at our meeting in RAILS Burr Ridge. They will introduce the new developments within the BLUEcloud suite including eResource Central, Enterprise, MobileCirc, Analytics, and Cataloging. If you cannot attend in person, this even will be streamed LIVE via the new RAILS service called "RAILS Live" which is available from this website: http://live.railslibraries.info/ Just tune in at 9:30am at the start of the meeting. No need to register, as the new RAILS Live is extremely easy to use. You can send questions in via the chat window and we will try to get those answered throughout the meeting (This event will not be recorded, sorry). Hope to see you there!

** SWAN is currently down **

by Dave Pacin

The control process on the production server has stopped which means that no transactions are going through and records will continuously appear to be locked. We are working with Innovative to resolve this as quickly as possible. Watch your email and the SWAN support site for updates. http://support.swanlibraries.net/ Dave Pacin SWAN Support Specialist 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5151 Fax: 630.734.5056 dave.pacin(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:dave.pacin@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

FirstSearch links to your scoped catalog

by Kate Boyle

+++ Please route to appropriate personnel +++ Everyone- Today I logged into the FirstSearch Administrative account for every SWAN library and updated the links, when necessary, to your scoped catalog. Previously these links were addressed to the former catalog address of swan.mls.lib.il.us . This address has now been updated to http://catalog.swanlibraries.net/search~Sx (the x being your individual scoping code). The updating at OCLC of these changes usually takes overnight. You should be able to test these links tomorrow in FirstSearch. I updated the ISBN search to the new catalog address also. This updating should now allow patrons and other libraries to quickly verify the status of your item in the SWAN catalog, just as they did previously when using FirstSearch. If anyone should have any questions regarding this, don't hesitate to call me. Everyone have a great Memorial Day.
