SWAN Library Directors/Administrators:
The attached memo is an update on the ProPay accounts and integration within Enterprise. A majority of SWAN libraries are *not ready* for the Enterprise integration, so I urge all directors to review the memo and work with your staff (business manager, etc.) to make sure ProPay is active.
SWAN was testing Enterprise integration on Thursday last week, and took some corrective action with some negative balances that resulted in our 25 cent tests. This is noted on page 2 of the Migration Memo #16 attached.
If you have questions, the memo outlines that these should go to commerce(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:commerce@swanlibraries.net> which will open a helpdesk ticket. Should you wish to contact someone at SWAN, please call me directly using the information below.

To All Member Libraries:
Thank you for your responses to the Enterprise checklist. Using your responses as a guide, we have completed building the external and internal Enterprise profiles. Please see the document "Enterprise URLs" at https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/sirsidynix (login required) to review the differences between the internal and external profiles and verify the URL for each. These profiles are live, but please keep in mind the data load has not completed. You will not be able to log in, and there will appear to be errors with the visible data.
Many library staff have contacted SWAN with questions about modifying the catalog search box on their website and updating existing catalog URLs. We have created a short guide to Enterprise linking, available at https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/enterprise-linking-guide (login required). This page includes code for a simple search box as well as patterns for constructing links to specific search results.
If you have any questions, please email migrationhelp(a)swanlibraries.net.

Hello Member Libraries,
Bookmark #4 is ready for your use! This bookmark is an editable template that you can use to communicate anything you like about the new system to your patrons post go live. The bookmark and supporting documentation can be found here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4qiZm9uuFkFUHZQamE5RXFFWTA/view?usp=shari…
For instruction, please first read the 'READ ME' document file (or, I've included the text below). This will help guide you through the creation of your own bookmark. If you'd like to print your bookmark using a printing service, the one that I utilized for the previous bookmarks in the series was www.gotprint.com<http://www.gotprint.com>.
Leading up to the migration, SWAN has provided three bookmarks focusing on features of the new ILS, changes your patrons can expect, and notification of down-time. If you would like to produce another bookmark focusing on other features of the system such as text message notifications, pick-up anywhere, support for multiple language, or anything else, we are providing bookmark templates that match the look and feel of the previously released bookmarks.
The folder "out-sourced printing" contains a bookmark front file, and back files that you can customize with information you think will be pertinent to your library's patrons. The customizable back is available in Photoshop and Publisher formats. Please open the file specific to your preferred software. These files are sized to the specifications of gotprint.com. However, they should be compatible with most other online and local printing companies as well
The folder "in-house printing" contains 8.5x11 files (four bookmarks per page) that are ready to customize and print. Available in InDesign and Publisher formats, please open the file specific to your preferred software.
You will also find the fonts used in these designs (Baskerville and Clarendon) which can be installed onto your computer.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional assistance. Thank you!
