*Important* Enterprise OPAC Issues with Firefox Web Browser

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Libraries and Information Technology Staff: We're currently investigating an issue that is only occurring with the Firefox web browser.

We hope to have this issue resolved immediately and will send further SWANcoms as soon as information is available.

*Important* Sunday 3/27 Due Dates

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Library Staff: Please be aware - we've received reports that many libraries do not have Sunday 3/27 registered in their Days Closed as a holiday, and so items with 3-week checkouts are ending up with this due date. Unfortunately, we're only able to update this setting globally overnight, so we will be unable to make the change during the day today. Should you encounter items having a due date of 3/27, please change the date manually during or after checkout. We plan to have this issue resolved during the week so that future checkouts will not arrive at this due date. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Steven Schlewitt SWAN IT Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5130 Fax: 630.734.5056 steven.schlewitt(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:steven.schlewitt@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

Bibliographic record issues in WorkFlows

by Karen Bar

SWAN Member Library Staff: Due to increased activity last night, some of our normal overnight processing was not able to complete. You may encounter issues with recently modified bibliographic records when using WorkFlows. These will likely be records that were created or modified on 3/1/16. You may encounter error messages such as "heading keys need to be indexed first" or be unable to open a bibliographic record in WorkFlows. We anticipate that this issue will be resolved overnight and we will send a follow up email to confirm when the issue has been resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
