Hello,
EBSCO sent an alert reporting a service issue for EBSCO links and EDS. I've added it to the Known Issues on the SWAN site. As soon as it is resolved, I'll send a notification via SWANcom.
https://support.swanlibraries.net/node/77013

New incident: Identified
EBSCO Customer Support has received reports of customers receiving "Potential Security Risk" errors when attempting to access EBSCO resources.

Hello,
Attached is a spreadsheet with the EBSCO links for those you selected for the EBSCO group purchase. You can find your library by scrolling across the tabs at the bottom. There are a handful of links that are not working yet. We've highlighted those in yellow. We are working with EBSCO to get these fixed and will let you know as soon as they are working.
We've tested all of these remotely through Open Athens authentication. Inside the library, they should go directly to the database. If they are not, then please send a list of your library IP ranges in a help ticket to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>. We will need to confirm we have the correct IPs on file with EBSCO.
We've also created a SWAN Patron Site. You can copy and paste the access links from there as well. This page isn't live yet because we want to confirm that all links are working before we enable it. You can find your library page by going to this link and inserting your three-letter library code in the highlighted space. https://swanlibraries.net/lib/xxx
If you weren't able to attend the Group Purchase Meeting we had on Wednesday, you can find the recording on the Support Site. Here's the link. https://support.swanlibraries.net/tutorial/76697
If you have any questions, please email help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> rather than emailing me directly. I'm happy to answer your questions!
Thanks, Robin

Hello,
We do not have all of the access links for our EBSCO Group Purchase from EBSCO. They are working on the remaining set. Once we have the complete order and we've tested them, we will send them out to you. I'm sorry about the time this is taking.
Please join us today at 1:00 PM for an EBSCO Group Purchase Update. You can register on L2.

Subject: [SWANcom] Symphony/WorkFlows Brief Outage 7/8
SWAN Member Library Staff:
Due to an issue with circ map policies, we need to restart Symphony services immediately. This will cause a brief outage of WorkFlows, but we expect the process should take no longer than 10 minutes. Following the restart, we'll verify the issue is corrected and give an "all clear" SWANcom to log back in.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

SWAN Member Libraries and Information Technology Staff:
We had a brief outage of our VPN service around 3pm causing all library tunnels to reconnect. Most reestablished their connections quickly, but you likely lost your connection to WorkFlows. If that's the case, please restart your WorkFlows client and attempt to log back in. The VPN may take up to 10 minutes to reestablish completely. If it seems to take much longer than 10 minutes, please send us a ticket at help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
