Resolved: Aspen server upgrade and slowness issues

by SWAN Communications

Good afternoon member libraries, Thank you again for your patience during this Aspen server upgrade. After working with ByWater Solutions, our hosting provider, throughout the day we are now seeing that the performance issues in our catalog are resolved and Symphony extracts are processing smoothly. You should see accurate item statuses, changes to item and bibliographic data, and have access to all My Account functionality. If you have any issues, please open a ticket. Thank you!

Good afternoon! Due to ILA, the decision was made to move the Cataloging Advisory meeting to Thursday, October 31st, after consulting with the Cataloging Libraries. The meeting will still be 9:30-11 AM. I apologize for any inconvenience this move will cause, but I hope more will be able to attend with the adjustment. This meeting will be recorded for those that are unable to attend. Have a wonderful day!
