There will be no Serials Users Group Meeting on Thursday, 11/29/18. This was cancelled in L2 when we combined the Serials Users Group Meeting with the Cataloging Advisory Meeting in the Fall, but it was still listing on the SWAN support site. We have corrected the web page and apologize for any inconvenience.
Please plan to join us at the next Serials Users Group Meeting on Thursday, June 13, 2019.

Member Libraries,
In an effort to clear up confusion, SWAN has updated the Unusable/Damaged procedure as well as changed the user names for the accounts.
What used to be RB_ILL_DAMAGED is now UNUSABLE_RB_ILL
What used to be RB_ILL_LOSS is now LOSS_RB_ILL
Please see the attached documentation or visit the Beta Support Site<https://swandev.swanlibraries.net/>.

SWAN Libraries,
The new support site is now open for beta testing<https://swandev.swanlibraries.net/>! Please use our simple feedback form<https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/csnwj9vs9x/index.html> to communicate any issues you find. The form will remain open until December 7th, which will allow SWAN staff time to implement any changes before the full launch on December 11th. Many thanks to all library staff who participated in the numerous interviews, card sorts, and tree tests that have helped us better categorize documentation and content on the new site-your feedback has been immensely helpful in organizing the new site.
Some things to test and report for the new site:
* Log in with your current L2 account information, just like the current site
* Test the new site search by searching for documents and noting the accuracy of the results
* Let us know how you feel about the new online documentation format
* Try out the Quick library lookup on the homepage
* Let us know about any resources you use regularly that you can't find on the beta site
Again, this feedback form will remain open until December 7th and the new site will launch Tuesday, December 11th.

Subject: [SWANcom] Consolidation of Address and Extended Info Fields in User Records
SWAN Member Libraries:
This weekend SWAN will be making the address and extended info field consolidations that were recommended by the SWAN Circulation Advisory. These changes will take place outside of library hours and there will be no impact on the membership. Monday you will see fewer fields in both the address and extended info tabs within patrons records. Below is a chart of the fields that are being removed and where any info that is in that field currently, will go. The most noticeable difference being the phone fields. There will now be 2 phone fields named, PHONE, and ALT PHONE.
REMOVE from Extended Info
Remove from Address
Entered By (Move to Note Field)
Company (Move to BUS/SCHOOL)
Guardian (Move to Care/Of)
School (Move to BUS/SCHOOL)
License
Home phone (migrate to PHONE, if PHONE is blank)
Lost Item (moving to Note field)
Work Phone (migrate to ALT PHONE)
P_NO
Cell Phone (migrate to ALT PHONE)
PREV_ADDR
RDG_LEVEL
CREATE ALT PHONE
RECEIPT (Move to Note Field)
SEESUPER (move to Note Field)
SSN
Please send in a ticket to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> if there are any questions.
