Change in CTS delivery service days for Burr Ridge libraries

by Aaron Skog

On behalf of RAILS Delivery & Facilities Director Mark Hatch: RAILS has renewed our delivery outsourcing agreement with Continental Transportation Solutions (CTS) effective Sunday, October 25, 2015. One major change will take place with the renewal that will affect libraries in the Burr Ridge service area. Beginning on October 25, deliveries will take place from Sunday night through Thursday night and incoming materials will be available for library staff each weekday morning. For example, materials delivered Sunday night will be ready and waiting on Monday morning. This change will make it easier for CTS to process materials more consistently and will even out the delivery load. There will be no other changes to the service CTS provides your library and you will continue to process outgoing materials in the same way. Once again, this change will take effect on Sunday, October 25. If you have any questions about this change or your CTS delivery service in general, please contact your RAILS delivery liaison, Demond Warfield, at 630.734.5142 or demond.warfield(a)railslibraries.info.

Brief Enterprise Downtime at 10 PM

by Rebecca Malinowski

To SWAN Library Staff: There will be a few minutes of Enterprise downtime tonight at 10 PM. At that time, SirsiDynix will be restarting the Enterprise server. The interruption to service should be less than 5 minutes. The server is being restarted to resolve an issue with the delta harvest scheduler. The delta harvests should run every hour to reflect changes made in Workflows to Enterprise. You can read more about the harvest process on the support site FAQ page<https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/migration-faq#entgeneral>. As of this morning, the delta harvests are not responding to the schedule we have set for them, and SirsiDynix says that a restart of Enterprise will resolve the issue. In the meantime, SWAN staff will run manual harvests throughout the day. One recently began at 11 AM, and we will run additional harvests at 3 PM and 6 PM. After the server is restarted, you will also notice some small changes to wording in Enterprise recommended by library staff and the DUX committee. o On the hit list page, in the sort by drop down: § Publication Date (Descending) will be changed to Publication Date (Newest First) § Publication Date (Ascending) will be changed to Publication Date (Oldest First) o On the detail display, the tab labeled "Available for Checkout" will be labeled "Copies" Thank you for your continued feedback on Enterprise. Please send additional comments to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>.

Customized Wizards Prompt in WorkFlows (Extra message in WorkFlows)

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Libraries and Information Technology Staff: We've heard from several libraries that clicking "OK" does not always resolve this message for subsequent logins to WorkFlows. The reason for this is that the required patch files need to be downloaded and applied using administrator permissions. The easiest way to resolve this issue is to simply run WorkFlows as an administrator. This can be performed in the following steps... 1. Right click the WorkFlows icon on your desktop 2. Click the "Run as administrator" drop-down option [cid:image003.jpg@01D0EA54.ADB66A70] 3. Enter your computer's administrator password when prompted 4. When WorkFlows opens, login using any WorkFlows account 5. Click the "OK" when prompted with the Customized Wizards message Running this process a single time will resolve the prompt for all users on that desktop. There's no need to perform this action different Windows users. For IT departments having a high volume of workstations requiring the patch (instances where logging in as administrator may be unfeasible), please contact SWAN IT with a ticket (help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>), as we have an alternate method for deploying the necessary patch files to multiple workstations. We apologize for the inconvenience and confusion over this prompt. We're not yet certain as to what server change initiated the patch, but any changes we perform requiring library administration interaction will always be pre-planned outside of emergency situations.

Circulation dept ---- update to Clean Holds Shelf report and processing

by Kate Boyle

*** Please Route to Appropriate Personnel *** Circulation ---- Attached is a memo regarding the "Clean Holds Shelf" report . On September 8th, the report run by the SWAN Office will be changed to not trap any holds. This will result in a small change to the processing of materials in your office. We are making this change to the report to eliminate the possibility of pre-mature hold pickup notices being produced. If you run your own "Clean Holds Shelf" report(s), you will need to update the Trap Holds tab in the report as described in the attached memo. Thank you for your cooperation. If you should have any questions regarding the memo, please contact us at 630-734-5153 or help(a)swanlibraries.net Kate Boyle SWAN Member Services Manager Reaching Across Illinois Library System Burr Ridge Office Phone: 630.734.5162 Fax: 630.734.5056 kate.boyle(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:kate.boyle@railslibraries.info> http://www.railslibraries.info
