Everyone-
Dave Pacin of SWAN Member Services has developed a new template for patron bills. The SWAN Circ Advisory Committee reviewed the template at their last meeting, made a few suggestions, and it is now ready for use. We will begin using the new bill next Wednesday, June 18th. I have attached a sample so you can view it now. It is formatted to work with either a single or double window envelope. There is new information in the footer on each bill, including the patron's barcode, ptype, item location, and whether it is a local, reciprocal borrowing, or ILL transaction.
Don't be concerned, we are not changing the manner in which we distribute these bills, they will be handled as you have directed us previously.
If you should have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact us at 630-734-5153. Enjoy the beautiful day.

The SWAN Executive Director report from the June 5 Quarterly meeting is now available online.

The live streaming of the event was successful with around 45 concurrent viewers throughout the entire meeting. We noted a few areas for improvement with the sound and some of the presenter devices (SirsiDynix challenged us by bringing 4 different types of devices that were used through the demonstration). We look forward to more online events broadcast from Burr Ridge.
Regards,
Aaron

SWAN Member Libraries:
We just wanted you to be aware that our July and August Committee of the Whole meetings ARE being held off-site, rather than at Burr Ridge as noted on Aaron's presentation today. Here are the locations:
July 8th Committee of the Whole - Oak Lawn Public Library
August 12th Committee of the Whole - Tinley Park Public Library
At this time, all other SWAN meetings for 2014 are scheduled at Burr Ridge.
We apologize for any confusion that this may have caused!
Thank you,
