Batch Deletions Using Discard User
We will be adjusting the scheduled date for batch deletions effective immediately. The Convert DISCARD Items Reports for each library will continue to be run in the morning on the first of the month in order to identify items for batch removal from the previous month. The SWAN Remove Discard Items Report will be run on the first Saturday of each month in order for this to process with greater efficiency. This report is run for batch removal of items from the previous month that have been converted to DISCARD. Therefore, your library discard items for the previous month will be identified for Discard processing on the first of the month but will remain in the system (shadowed) until the following Saturday.
Any items checked out to Discard User beginning on the first of the month will be captured in the next month batch deletions. For example, any item checked out to Discard User on November 1st to 30th, 2015 will be captured in the reports on the morning on December 1, 2015 and deleted with batch deletions on Saturday, December 5, 2015. Another example, any item checked out to Discard User on December 1st to 31st, 2015 will be captured in the reports on the morning on January 1, 2016 and deleted with batch deletions on Saturday, January 2, 2016.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you.

It's the most wonderful time of the year--the SWAN quarterly meeting! This Thursday, December 3, join other SWAN administrators at the RAILS building in Burr Ridge to find out what's in store for 2016, the successes we saw in 2015, and all the library news you need to know. The meeting starts at 9:30 a.m. and we hope you can join us afterwards for refreshments, treats and a look behind the scenes at SWAN. This is a great opportunity to network and meet the faces of SWAN staff.
Check out https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2015-11-30/swan-quarterly-meeting-an… for more information. Happy holidays!

Library Directors/Administrators & IT Staff:
As of Monday morning, SWAN has ended our support contract with Versatile Computer Services, Inc. The Versatile team has made a positive contribution to SWAN's support and IT infrastructure for many years; however, to accommodate the ever-changing climate of the IT industry, SWAN Management, with consensus of the SWAN Board, agreed that it was in the best interest of the membership to part ways with Versatile.
The attached memo outlines the direction SWAN will take with this change of service.
