SWAN is testing computer generated delivery routing labels
by Kate Boyle 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Everyone - Last week we asked Melrose Park Public Library to begin testing a new print template for a transit slip to be used with RAILS delivery. This label prints on the Restick printers and can be used for items being checked in to fill holds. While it works perfectly for those items being sent from the home library to fill a hold at another SWAN library, we are still a tweaking a few other scenarios. Just wanted everyone to be aware that there is testing going on and you may see one of these labels as we continue to improve them. Have a good week.

Thank YOU, SWAN Member Libraries! (Network Migration Project Completed)
by Steven Schlewitt 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

SWAN Member Libraries & Information Technology Staff: A sigh of relief is in order, as the SWAN Network Migration Project has concluded successfully! Over the last nine months, SWAN has accomplished the network reconfiguration that has been on our radars for some time. Granted, there will be some additional clean-up in the upcoming months moving non-essential services to our new network, but the server migration and configuration of the new network (the aspects that directly involve our member libraries) is now complete. Here are a few of the benefits we're now observing as a result of the migration... 1. IP addressing scheme - SWAN servers now have the appropriate internal and external IP addressing to allow network independence and greater flexibility for future configuration. 2. Swanlibries.net domain - All servers have been migrated to the new Swanlibraries.net domain, so that MLS/SLS addresses can be permanently retired. 3. Firewall hardware - SWAN servers are connected to new SonicWall hardware, allowing enhanced security functions and extended support. 4. FQDN support - Many 3rd party vendor services and hardware now reference SWAN servers via the Fully Qualified Domain Name as opposed to the IP address, allowing flexibility in future IP and server changes. 5. Improved aliased email service - Aliased emails can now be changed via a form on our support.swanlibraries.net homepage, and are managed through a much more reliable service. Is there anything we could have done differently? Could we have done anything better, or were there any aspects of the project you especially appreciated? Your feedback is important to me! If you'd like to provide feedback about the project, please email us at feedback(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:feedback@swanlibraries.net>. If you have any questions regarding the migration or outstanding issues, please feel free to contact me directly at the address and number listed below. On behalf of the SWAN Support and IT staff, thank you for all of your help and patience throughout the Network Migration Project! We couldn't have done this without your support! Steven Schlewitt SWAN IT Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5130 Fax: 630.734.5056 steven.schlewitt(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:steven.schlewitt@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net
