We have received questions regarding the ILLINET Traffic Survey and reporting interlibrary loan numbers as part of your annual reporting. Please note that the ILLINET Traffic Survey is based on a fiscal year starting with July 1. NOTE: the filing deadline for FY21 (July 1, 2020 - June 30, 2021) is March 31, 2022. If you have not completed the FY21 ILLINET Traffic Survey please do so before this deadline.
Instructions and data are updated annually and can be found on the SWAN Support Site - ILLINET Traffic Survey<https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/66632> page.
The ILLINET Traffic Survey for FY22 will be posted sometime in July 2022, after end of FY22. For FY22 ILLINET reporting, we will be adjusting these reports to exclude transits between main and pseudo library locations. Look for an update to this data and instructions in July 2022.

As we juggle with an interesting start to 2022 and process the address changes supplied through the National Change of Address (NCOA) process, we are postponing the change to 7 years on inactivity on patron records as qualifying criteria.
The monthly report you receive in your BLUEcloud Analytics History Log will reflect those patron records eligible for removal the following month, if no action is taken by the library to update the patrons Last Activity Date (LAD). See our documentation on the Monthly Patron Record Purge<https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/87627> as a reminder of how to access these reports.

Some libraries may need to temporarily adjust their hold policies to manage current conditions. Please remember to follow standard procedures when placing holds. Do not override any hold blocks as this will cause hold queue disruption. As libraries are facing challenges with staffing and potential closures, it is important to adhere to hold policies.
Documentation on placing holds is available on the support site at https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/64692.

SirsiDynix has identified some problematic files from the overnight processing. They have moved the files out of the processing and restarted the process. While this will delay the reports for the day, we have decided it is best to resolve the issue before the holiday. Continue to follow the guidelines outlined in the 7:06 AM update to the Updated Known Issue<https://support.swanlibraries.net/issue/89871>.
