**RESOLVED** Renewals and Holds on iOS Devices

by Rebecca Malinowski

To All SWAN Library Staff: Many libraries reported issues with renewing items or cancelling holds in My Account on Apple iOS mobile devices. SWAN has added a custom script to Enterprise which has resolved the issue. If you or your patrons continue to experience issues, please report them to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>.

Axis 360 and eResource Central

by Rebecca Malinowski

To SWAN Library Staff: eRead libraries may be familiar with the changes Baker and Taylor has recently made to Axis 360. The BLIO format is no longer in use by Axis 360, which appears to be causing an issue with Enterprise downloads via eRC. Users are still able to select Blio as a format from within Enterprise, but are unable to download or return the item from Enterprise or the Axis 360 app. This issue affects all SirsiDynix customers using eResource Central with Axis 360. I've been in touch with the eRead team, who are checking in with Baker and Taylor. We also have a case open with SirsiDynix. We will send an update on an expected resolution when we have more information.
