SWAN Office Move and New Staff Contacts

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Member Libraries: In this morning's SWAN E-News, we included an update on the move to our new office space. I thought I would notify you all via SWANcom in addition to that newsletter. We are moving on Friday this week. The SWAN staff contact information is changing, which includes email addresses and phone numbers. It is important to note that the old phone numbers RAILS provided us will discontinue forwarding before the month is out. That was not our decision. The phone numbers when called will play a voicemail message notifying the caller of the new contact number and the new email address and then hang up. Once we know that the forwarding has stopped, we will again notify you all. But we want you to update all of your contacts before that happens. SWAN Main Number: 1-844-SWANLIB (1-844-792-6542) For a list of the SWAN staff direct contact information, please log onto the SWAN support website: https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/support-contacts Our new business address as of December 12, 2016 SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 For library business office managers, if you have the PO Box, that is not changing. For reference, that PO Box is for all SWAN invoices for payment, which is a lock box banking service. SWAN PO Box 6286 Carol Stream, IL 60197-6286 For those of you wondering where our meetings will be located, the answer is "it depends." Many of them will remain scheduled in RAILS Burr Ridge (like BLUEcloud Analytics training). Others, like the SWAN Board meeting, will be held at the new office location. We will continue to use the L2 event system for all of our events. But when in doubt, just ask us! We have some 2017 calendar strips that will be made available soon. Those will have our new 844-SWANLIB and support contacts.

Fixed: Items overdue, not billed after 42 days

by Helen Pinder

SWAN Member Libraries, It has been discovered that a notice configuration setting is inadvertently preventing some patron checkouts from progressing through the standard overdue and billing process. The number of affected records is relatively few. Nevertheless, higher than normal bill-notice volumes are anticipated tomorrow after the change takes effect tonight. Patrons receiving these notices may remark on the delay in delivery; however, the change should permanently solve the issue going forward and it should not happen again. (Thank you to Lansing PL, who noticed and reported the anomaly.)
