SWAN Member Library Staff:
The ADUText maintenance report has concluded. Other morning reports should now be catching up to the normal schedules.
The conclusion of this report should also resolve "HatWrapper" and "Locked Record" errors that were encountered on select items while editing.

SWAN Member Library Staff:
Relating to the data import of our upcoming library migrations, we're currently seeing a long-running maintenance report, "ADUText", that's delaying several normally scheduled morning reports. This report may throw off the normal report timing by an hour or two. We expect the reports functions will be freed up once again later this morning.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

We've seen a few tickets indicating several records are throwing the "HatWrapperException" error pictured below when attempting to perform bib record updates. We believe this exception is due to the long-running ADUText report. When the report concludes, please try updating the records in question again, and let us know if the issue persists via ticket to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>.

+++ Please share with Appropriate Personnel +++
Very often we hear rumors and they turn out not to be true. But sadly for us in this case the rumor is true, Renee Clanton is retiring from SWAN.
After only 30+ years, Renee has tendered her resignation to SWAN notifying us that her last day will by July 31st , 2016.
So, the good news is we have four months to try and find her replacement. And the bad news is, we have only 4 months to try and find her replacement. If you are a person in Circulation you have either met Renee at a meeting, spoken to her over the phone, or attended one the numerous workshops she has presented. Renee has been solving problems for Circulation staff at SWAN libraries for over 30 years, to say she will be missed is an understatement (probably one of the biggest understatements of all time).
Plans for a reception honoring Renee's contribution to SWAN is in the planning stages. We will be certain to keep everyone in the loop as we firm up a date.

Thank you to our Circ Mentors and to their libraries for the generosity of their time and talents.

Everyone -
I regret to inform everyone but the "Throttling Fix" that was scheduled for last Thursday was not fully implemented by SirsiDynix. SirsiDynix has advised us that they will be implementing the "Throttling Fix" sometime this week. We will let everyone know as soon as we are advised the "Fix" is completed. In addition, SirsiDynix is still pursuing a new vendor to process text messages. The "Fix" is just a temporary measure to help alleviate the problem.
Another twist was identified today by SWAN staff in testing - it appears that only Verizon customers are actually receiving text messages. We have tested sending Manual Messages via SMS text to several staff members and anyone with Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Virgin carriers did not receive their text message. This situation has been reported to SirsiDynix and a ticket opened in their support center. As we receive more information on this newly identified problem, we will let you know via SWANcom.

The news I have for you today is that SWAN's Bibliographic Services Manager Karen Bar is leaving SWAN for a new life in the Florida Keys. I think that we can all agree Karen has earned this relocation through her tireless efforts in leading us through the consortia software migration. SWAN will begin its search for our next manager starting today as we still have a few months before Karen finally relocates. We do not have a final date yet set for Karen as she has offered SWAN some flexibility so we can find a new replacement.
In addition to this position opening at SWAN, I wanted to highlight another opening for a full-time cataloging position within SWAN. This is an entirely new position I wanted to make sure to note this for SWAN libraries. Both positions are listed below.

Everyone-
Just a brief update on Circulation.
Yesterday, Sirsi Dynix implemented a "Throttling Fix" to the processing of SMS text messaging. This should correct the problem of some text messages being dropped. Please continue to let us know if your patrons report any problems with not receiving their "hold pickup" notices in particular.
As a reminder, Spanish and Polish notices were implemented on Feb. 1st. We have seen a definite increase in the number of notices being generated in both languages. Please, promote this with your patrons and if you need any other languages open a ticket.
Earlier this week, SWAN tweaked the settings in Workflows holds processing in order to enable the Holds Pull List in MobileCirc. This should be transparent to everyone. If you see or experience anything different, please let us know by opening a ticket.
The MobileCirc Faire yesterday was a huge success judging from the comments we have heard. The next MobileCirc Faire is March 23rd at 1:00 PM. There are still a few seats left. You can register at : http://www.librarylearning.info/admin/roster.aspx?eventID=22287 . Please feel free to register staff from multiple departments. You may come regardless of whether your library has purchased any hardware. The Powerpoint of the workshop should be available on the SWAN website this afternoon.
The new version of the SWAN Circulation Policy was approved in November and is available on the SWAN website. All staff need to be aware of some new policies that were created with our migration to SirsiDynix. The policy can be viewed at https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/members-only/1754 .
Lauren in SWAN Member Services has created a new Enterprise You Tube video for your patrons. The focus of this video is an overview of the patron "My Account" area of Enterprise. Lauren is working on more Enterprise tutorials for your patrons including how to perform a search, place a hold, and manage reading lists. The video can be viewed at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRfe_5whL-w
