by Ian Nosek 14 Feb '17

14 Feb '17

SWAN Member Library Staff: It appears that this morning's intermittent network problems have quieted down. All VPN connections seem to have normalized and WorkFlows is operating normally. We are continuing to investigate the root cause of this problem and will provide any updates in following SWANComs. In the meantime, if you are experiencing any slowness within WorkFlows or related systems, please open a ticket and we will follow up. Thanks again for your patience.

DVD Boxed Set Checkouts, 2/10-2/13
by Samantha Dietel 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

++ Please route to appropriate Circulation staff ++ It has come to our attention that an error in the Circulation Map may have assigned some DVD boxed sets (types DVD_BOXNEW and DVD_BOXSET) the wrong Circulation Rule if checked out any day between Friday, 2/10 and today. The items have been checking out for a two-week loan with a $2 fine rate. If this does not match your local policy, your items may have been affected. This error was discovered and corrected today but will not be effective until tomorrow, Tuesday, 2/14 due to our nightly halt and run of the system. Please continue to monitor any checkouts and extend due dates appropriately, but be aware that any items returned late will generate a $2-per-day fine which must be manually adjusted. We have run a list of affected checkouts from Friday, 2/10 to Sunday 2/12, paged by checkout/charging library. This document will not list any affected checkouts from today. Please view the attachment and find the tab along the bottom for your library. If you do not see your library's tab in the attachment, you were not affected by this error. [cid:image001.png@01D285E6.09685350] Thank you.
