Nightly Processing Delay - Please Suspend All Activities Except Checkout/Checkin Until Further Notice

by SWAN Communications

SWAN Member Library Staff, We are experiencing a delay in our nightly processing. Until the long-running overnight processing concludes and SWAN has sent an “all clear” update, please refrain from all WorkFlows activities except Checkout and Checkin. SirsiDynix is currently investigating the reason for these long-running overnight maintenance reports. Throughout the morning, you are likely to encounter errors until these reports have concluded including “Hatwrapper Exception” and “Records in Use.” Additionally, many records may be unsearchable in WorkFlows by name, as this maintenance impacts our record indexing process. Should you encounter records with errors, please make note of the records and submit a ticket to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>. It’s likely these errors will clear once the reports conclude, but we’ll double-check to ensure that’s the case later today. We sincerely apologize for the delays in this processing and appreciate your patience as the reports conclude. SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 Email: help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> Phone: 844-SWANLIB (844-792-6542) https://support.swanlibraries.net<https://support.swanlibraries.net/>

Self-Nomination open for two co-chair positions to lead new Acquisitions/Cataloging Users group

by SWAN Communications

We are happy to announce that for 2022, the Acquisitions Users group and Cataloging Users group will become one group that meets 4 times a year: Feb 10th, May 12th, Sep 8th, and Dec 8th. This decision was based on different factors, such as topics that crossover both modules, fewer meetings for you to attend, and an opportunity to learn more about one area or the other. With this being said, we are looking for two people to co-chair this new group. SWAN staff will be there to support you along the way and to provide help with anything you need. We will continue to host and record the meetings. This is a great opportunity to fine-tune your acquisitions and cataloging skills and to network with your peers! If interested, please email Scott(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:Scott@swanlibraries.net> by November 30th.
