We expect little to no impact on service since it is occurring over the holiday and the Aspen catalog will be available. Please note that the SWAN office will be closed for the holiday on Monday and will reopen on Tuesday, September 8th. We will send an all-clear message when you can resume normal work functions. We will provide updates on our Support Site<https://swanlibraries.net/news/2026-09/95162> as they become available. Thanks!
