Email Issue with Symphony Server, 7/18-19

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Library Staff, Due to an unexpected system error, emails sent from the Symphony/WorkFlows server were not delivered to patrons or staff this Saturday or Sunday. This includes all emailed notices, reports, and receipts. We determined that the issue resulted from a misconfigured service following recent system updates. We have resolved the issue and the server has resumed sending all emails. However, we have been unable to resend emails that should have been delivered to patrons and staff throughout the weekend. We will continue to review options to capture these missed notices into Monday and will provide updates to the Known Issue<https://support.swanlibraries.net/node/77451> as they become available. Thank you, SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 Email: help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> Phone: 844-SWANLIB (844-792-6542) https://support.swanlibraries.net<https://support.swanlibraries.net/>

EBSCO Access Links

by Robin Hofstetter

Hello, Last week we sent an email with the attached spreadsheet listing the EBSCO access links. There were several that were not working. All links are working now. There are two important changes to note. If you have already added these links to your website, you'll want to update both of them as the links have changed since last week. Previously, Science Reference Center used the EBSCOhost interface but is now a separate interface. Biography Reference Bank (one of the four available for selection) was formerly named Biography Reference Center, and along with a name change, it moved from a separate interface to the EBSCOhost interface. The patron site is live and searchable. https://swanlibraries.net/articles-databases/databases/ Article Search is also live with new selections. We've scheduled a SWAN EBSCO Statistics Training for October 7, 2020. In this training, we'll go over how to pull and read COUNTER 5 reports. You can find it on L2, and there is no registration necessary. https://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=31660 If you have any questions, please email help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> Thanks, Robin Robin Hofstetter Consultant, Electronic Resources robin(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:robin@swanlibraries.net> * 630-326-7823 My pronouns: they/them/theirs SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>

See The Library's Illustrated Guide to Pandemic Tub Handling Procedures<https://illinoisheartland.org/content/article/librarys-illustrated-guide-pa…> - and thank you to our friends at Heartland for sharing this resource!

Manage Hold Shelf Wizard replaces Clean Hold Shelf Report

by Dawne Tortorella

Starting immediately, a new process for managing items on the hold shelf has been implemented. Please see the news post, Manage Hold Shelf Wizard replaces Clean Hold Shelf Report<https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2020-07/77033> and review the documentation outlined under Manage Hold Shelf Wizard<https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2020-07/77033> on the SWAN support site. Some libraries have been using this tool for some time as it was introduced with our last Symphony 3.6.2 upgrade in January, 2020. We will be sharing tips and uses at upcoming Circulation Advisory and Circulation Users meetings.
