regarding a certain rumored retirement

by Kate Boyle

+++ 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.

FW: Circulation training for Circ Support Staff

by Kate Boyle

+++ Please route to Appropriate Personnel +++ Over the next few weeks, a select group of Circulation Managers from SWAN libraries will be presenting workshops for Circulation Support staff . As some of you may recall, these Managers are the same people that presented the highly successful Circ Du SWAN program a few years ago. Written in conjunction with SWAN Member Services, the program will cover User Registration, Holds and Holds processing, Patron Notices, Bills and everything we have learned over the last year about SirsiDynix WorkFlows. The good news is there is still time to register and of course the workshop is free! These workshops are being presented not only at the System Headquarters, but also at two local libraries (Frankfort PLD and Eisenhower PLD ) Eisenhower is even hosting one in the evening (6 PM – 8:30 PM) for those staff that find it hard to make a traditional morning or afternoon workshop. You can register for any of these workshops by clicking on the title for the particular event you are interested in attending. Please register as soon as possible, so we can prepare the correct number of training packets. Thank you.

Text messaging

by Kate Boyle

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.

SWAN Staff Announcement & Positions Posted

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Member Libraries: 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. SWAN Bibliographic Services Manager - SWAN Library Consortium https://www.railslibraries.info/jobs/111827 Bibliographic Services Consultant (Lead Cataloger) - SWAN Library Consortium https://www.railslibraries.info/jobs/110875 If you have any questions, please contact Brande Overbey at brande.overbey(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:brande.overbey@railslibraries.info> or (630) 734-5164.

SWAN Member Services March update

by Kate Boyle

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 Remember, if you ever have a question or concern just send SWAN a ticket at help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> Everyone enjoy the weekend.

*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.
