Grace Periods Extended - 7 Days (to accommodate quarantine period)

by Dawne Tortorella

Grace periods have been extended from 0 days to 7 days, and 3 days to 8 days. This change is in effect today, September 16th. Change in grace period fine accrual does not impact fine-free circulation rules. For a complete explanation of this grace period extension, see the news post, Grace Period Update - 7 days<https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2020-09/81046>. Libraries who have delayed return to pre-COVID circulation rules, due to fine accrual while items are in quarantine, may now consider this grace period extension when determining circulation policies for your library. As always, if you wish to review or change any policies, submit a support ticket and we will walk through your policies and adjust as needed. Additional reminder: Restarting hold notifications are still an opt-in. If you have not yet restarted those notifications and wish to, review your Library Services Status<https://support.swanlibraries.net/members/library-services-status> (see Active Notices column). Update any information through the Status Update & Services Request Form<https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/yzt7btkgmo/index.html?1595018812906>.

Email Issue with Symphony Server, 7/18-19

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Library Staff, Due to an unexpected system error, emails sent from the Symphony/WorkFlows server were not delivered to patrons or staff this Saturday or Sunday. This includes all emailed notices, reports, and receipts. We determined that the issue resulted from a misconfigured service following recent system updates. We have resolved the issue and the server has resumed sending all emails. However, we have been unable to resend emails that should have been delivered to patrons and staff throughout the weekend. We will continue to review options to capture these missed notices into Monday and will provide updates to the Known Issue<https://support.swanlibraries.net/node/77451> as they become available. Thank you, 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/>

EBSCO Access Links

by Robin Hofstetter

Hello, Last week we sent an email with the attached spreadsheet listing the EBSCO access links. There were several that were not working. All links are working now. There are two important changes to note. If you have already added these links to your website, you'll want to update both of them as the links have changed since last week. Previously, Science Reference Center used the EBSCOhost interface but is now a separate interface. Biography Reference Bank (one of the four available for selection) was formerly named Biography Reference Center, and along with a name change, it moved from a separate interface to the EBSCOhost interface. The patron site is live and searchable. https://swanlibraries.net/articles-databases/databases/ Article Search is also live with new selections. We've scheduled a SWAN EBSCO Statistics Training for October 7, 2020. In this training, we'll go over how to pull and read COUNTER 5 reports. You can find it on L2, and there is no registration necessary. https://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=31660 If you have any questions, please email help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> Thanks, Robin Robin Hofstetter Consultant, Electronic Resources robin(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:robin@swanlibraries.net> * 630-326-7823 My pronouns: they/them/theirs SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>
