The Clean Holds Shelf reports have completed as of 9:18 AM. Due to holiday closures, these reports may be longer than normal.
Also, over the next two days (Friday, 12/28 and Saturday, 12/29) there may be a delay in receiving these reports in the morning. We will announce any delays past 10 AM on these reports over the next two days.
SWAN Libraries,
The National Change of Address (NCOA) cleanup project will continue through next week.
What will continue 12/26/2018 - 12/28/2018:
* Addition of ZIP+4 and consolidation of Street fields for apartment numbers
What has been completed:
* New addresses added as shown in NCOA database (12/17/2018)
* Status updated to BADADDRES (12/17/2018)
* Notes containing old address information (12/21/2018)
The remaining work on this project will not involve status updates to user records. For a list of user records updated in the cleanup, see the NCOA List Your Updated Patrons<https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/66540> documentation on the SWAN Support Site.

SWAN Member Libraries and Circulation Staff:
Clean Holds Shelf and Bounce Email notifications were not sent to the library aliased email addresses (aaa(a)notices.swanlibraries.net) this morning due to an issue with the SWAN volume email service. The issue has since been resolved and Clean Holds Shelf reports are being sent manually now. We've regenerated and sent the bounce notifications as well.
We apologize for the inconvenience and do not expect further disruptions today or through the holiday.
Thank you,

Thank you all for your patience as we continue to process the NCOA file. As a reminder any changes made to the STREET, CITY, STATE, and ZIP fields in the Addresses tab before the freeze is lifted will be overwritten as we complete the project.

We have compiled shelf check reports for all RB/ILL items that have been reimbursed; one is sorted by owning library, the other by patron library. You can find the RB/ILL Long Overdue Item Clean-up<https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/66527> reports, along with the instructions to process them, on the SWAN Support Site. Please check your shelves as soon as possible as we will be running the Custom Longoverdue Report (CLR) for these items before January 1, 2019

Hi everyone,
Last call for survey tests! We’ll be closing the test server at 12pm.
Thanks to those who have already submitted their entries – we’re getting a lot of great server data!

SWAN Server Environment Benchmark Survey on Thursday, Dec 13th from 10am-12pm
12/07/2018 - 15:05 - by Steven Schlewitt
SWAN Member Library Staff:
With the SWAN server infrastructure migration<https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2018-12-05/swan-server-migration-sun…> just around the corner, one of the last boxes to tick in our pre-flight checklist is a membership-wide benchmark of the new server. That being the case, next week we’ll be holding a server benchmark survey on Thursday, December 13th from 10am to 12pm.
The survey itself consists of a series of simple WorkFlows tasks that staff will need to complete and questions about the experience. It will likely take staff no longer than 10 minutes to complete, and while tasks in this survey are more circulation-focused, we encourage all library staff to participate and submit their own surveys. Additionally, while this survey is not mandatory, we would urge every library to have at least one staff member run through the tasks and submit the survey to ensure their library has the necessary network access to our new server environment. Additionally, we hope to have as many simultaneous users on the test server possible to ensure a high-volume system benchmark.
To participate in the benchmark survey:
1. Anytime between 10am and 12pm on Thursday, open the FormSite<https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/gpuetz1u0h/index.html> survey.
2. As instructed in the survey, open WorkFlows and login to the SWAN test server at sdtest.in.swanlibraries.net
3. Follow the four subsequent survey tasks and note your results.
4. Submit your survey.
5. Close/reopen WorkFlows and log back in to the SWAN production server (as you normally would) at api.in.swanlibraries.net
Please note that SWAN staff will not be replying to these surveys, but we may reach out to you if further investigation of a response is needed.
If you have any questions about the survey or encounter any issues, please send us a ticket at help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>.
Thank you.

The Messenger Public Library of North Aurora will be open from 1:00 PM - 9:00 PM today, Thursday, 12/13 due to no water in the facility. Repairs are underway.
SWAN Libraries,
We will be extracting the patron records for the NCOA cleanup tonight at 11:30pm-any patron records created after 11:30pm will not be included in the NCOA update process, so you may continue adding new patron records as normal. The update process will be matching the returned NCOA address information to barcodes included in the data extract. Additionally, overwritten "old" address information will be included in a note field within the patron record.
As a reminder, the partial patron freeze will begin at 11:30pm tonight and the following fields in the Addresses tab should not be edited until an all-clear is given:
* STREET
* CITY
* STATE
* ZIP
