09 Oct '14

To the member libraries: SWAN staff will begin configuring each library's Enterprise installations in October. Enterprise online catalog we'll be using with SirsiDynix Symphony starting in April. Due to the customization options in Enterprise, we will need to collect information from your library for various aspects of the configuration. First, we are requesting information on your library's online databases and streaming/downloadable media offerings. This information will assist us in setting up EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) and eResource Central (eRc). EDS will allow allows users to search database holdings directly in Enterprise, and eRc will integrate ebooks and other downloadable media. Please complete the attached Excel workbook (LibraryResourceList.xlsx) by October 17th. This document should be completed by the person responsible for maintaining your library's online resources. We have prepared a guide to completing the workbook (ResourceListInstructions.pdf), and are happy to answer any additional questions you have. Please contact us at MigrationHelp(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:MigrationHelp@swanlibraries.net> with your questions. When you have completed the attached workbook, please upload it directly to the SWAN website. You will need to be logged in to access the page. https://support.swanlibraries.net/node/add/database-info Thank you.

Item records for OverDrive and eRead Illinois subscriptions
by Karen Bar 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Hi everyone, Happy Friday! SWAN now has an enhanced process for loading the records we receive from OverDrive and Baker and Taylor. We are now able to load item records for each subscribing library as we load the bibliographic records. Individual libraries will no longer have to add item records after titles are loaded. Over the next week, we will begin loading these enhanced batches of records from eRead Illinois, Media On Demand, eMedia Library and My Media Mall. We have included holdings for all libraries on current subscription lists supplied by OverDrive and eRead Illinois. If there are discrepancies, please contact me and I will update the information. When the first batches are loaded, please do a spot check of the holdings for your library to ensure that the item information is correct. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you.
