Hello, Athens has resolved the issue with the updated links for Gale. If you received a memo to update your links to https:// and to use the *gale.com rather than *galegroup.com, those links will now authenticate through Athens properly.

Print notice preference
by Helen Pinder 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

~~~Please route to appropriate staff~~~ In our review of users receiving print notices, we have identified and corrected some in-house records that were receiving print notices. Any notices designated for in-house accounts, homebound and outreach users, staff, and processing related users should be associated with a library email address. If we find any generic users with no email address, we will be updating these users with xxx(a)notices.swanlibraries.net<mailto:xxx@notices.swanlibraries.net> to curb notice printing waste. Also note "Do not mail" in the comment, note, or name field will not prevent a print notice from being generated. Please review your in-house users, homebound users, staff, etc. and associate a valid library email address which is monitored by staff with the user record. For a complete understanding of how notice delivery is determined visit the SWAN Support Site - Patron Notices & Notifications<https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/64674>.

SWAN reciprocal losses at CPL
by Helen Pinder 18 Jul '19

18 Jul '19

----Please route to appropriate staff---- SWAN has received an invoice from Chicago Public Library for Reciprocal Borrowing Losses. Member libraries who have patrons in this invoice will be debited in the October Quarterly Billing. In the meantime, libraries who wish to bill their users for these losses may do so using NS_RBILLX. If you have one or more patrons on this invoice, an email will be sent to your XXX @notices.swanlibraries.net address with patron detail. None of the lists has many patrons; however, in the interest of security, each list will be password protected using the BCA reports password convention. If you are not sure what that is, your director can login to the SWAN Support Site > Logins and passwords page to find it. Please feel free to open a support ticket at help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> if you have any questions.
