Hello library directors/administrators--
Just a final reminder that the SWAN Board election is in its last day, and the e-ballot will close at midnight tonight. There are four candidates running for two seats that will begin a three-year term in July 2023.
The login and password was sent to 100 library directors (or interims depending) on May 8th via email through the myDirectVote platform, and a second reminder email was sent directly to the remaining voters May 23rd. Access to the ballot requires the unique login and password to view the e-ballot and written statements of the four candidates.
Here is the SWAN Board election login page:

Thanks to everyone that has participated thus far! If you require assistance to obtain your login, please contact me directly.

Greetings, All!
As some of you have noticed, this week patrons sent to Unique Management for their "Gentle Nudge" process no longer appear with a user status of COLLECTION. Instead, they carry a status of REFERRED, as they have been referred to a third-party vendor for additional contact in an attempt to recover overdue materials or collect outstanding fees.
This is a small change in word choice to preserve patron goodwill and foster a more positive service environment.
Many thanks to our report testers, Acorn Public Library and Indian Prairie Public Library!
If there are any questions about this change or about Unique Management's services, please open a support ticket at help(a)swanlibraries.net

Good afternoon member libraries,
This is a reminder that the EBSCO database selection form is going to close this Friday, May 12, at the end of the day. If you are interested in changing your four optional EBSCO databases, this is the time to do it! If you need assistance, or have additional questions, please email help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>. If we do not receive a form from your library, your current four optional databases will continue through the 23-24 year.
Please see the article EBSCO Database Selection Form<https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2023-04/94281> to access the form.
