Missing Items on Hold Shelf Generic User.

by Crystal Vela

++ Please route to appropriate Circulation staff ++ It was brought to our attention that there are times when an item that is on your Clean Hold Shelf Report cannot be found on the hold shelf. To ensure that these items are accounted for and not showing a location of InTransit when they are missing, follow the attached procedure. Please note that you should only check an item out to this user MISSHLDSHLF if it was on your Clean Hold Shelf report, and you have looked for the item thoroughly and checked with the patron to ensure he/she doesn't not have it in their possession. Thank you Crystal Vela Consultant, Member Services crystal(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:crystal@swanlibraries.net> * (630)326-8059 SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://www.swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>

SWAN Enterprise Issues: Update

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Libraries, This is just a quick heads up. In our efforts to resolve some recent Enterprise issues, SirsiDynix is recommending an upgrade to the underlying server running Enterprise. This will result in more server resources supporting our system, but it will require some planned downtime starting at 11:59PM on Tuesday, August 1 next week. We will send out another SWANcom email on Monday, with a reminder on Tuesday. The length of downtime is estimated to be 4-6 hours. Thank you for your patience-SirsiDynix software engineers and the SaaS team have been studying our issues and recommend this first step. For background, please read the following two SWAN Support postings: Update on 7/10 https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2017-07-10/recent-enterprise-symphon… Outage on 7/8 https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2017-07-11/resolved-symphony-server-… Aaron Skog Executive Director aaron(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:aaron@swanlibraries.net> * (630)326-7022 SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 844-792-6542 swanlibraries.net<https://www.swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>

In Transit Items

by Vickie Totton

+++Please route to appropriate staff+++ Please find attached 2 In Transit reports. The first report (Item Library) is the one you are used to seeing on a monthly basis, it lists your items that have been in transit for at least 30 days. The second report (Transiting Library) sorts the items by transiting library. Follow the directions outlined in the "Processing the In Transit Report" pdf for both reports. Next Thursday, August 3, we will begin reporting on items in transit 10-30 days and will distribute those reports on a weekly basis for shelf checks. We are in the process of compiling a policy and process for cleaning up the items that have been in transit for an extended amount of time and will update you upon its completion. Thank you for your hard work and continued cooperation with this project.

Generic patrons and Unique collections

by Helen Pinder

Please route to appropriate staff. There has been an issue with generic users being selected for collection when we run the report for Unique. To correct this problem, please review your library's In-House cards, Training cards, etc. to be sure "NO_UNIQUE" is the "Library Defined" for all users who should be excluded from Collection Reports. To update these records: * Use the Display User wizard to retrieve the record and select Modify. * Under the Demographics tab, in the Library Defined category, choose "NO_UNIQUE" from the dropdown. * Click Save and close. Should you have any questions, Please call or email Helen Pinder at helen(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:helen@swanlibraries.net> or 630.326.8716.
