Enterprise Display Change: Number of available copies

by Rebecca Malinowski

To Library Staff: SWAN staff been investigating a number of comments from library staff regarding the inaccuracy of the "Available for Checkout" number displayed in Enterprise. As a result, we will be temporarily removing this number effective Friday, July 24th, until we can identify a solution. Read on for more details. An availability number appears on the hit list display as well as the availability tab of the detailed display. During our training and configuration process, we had been instructed that the "available" flag in an item's location (set in Symphony configuration tables) determined if the item counted as available in Enterprise or not, but that does not seem to be the case. Instead, this Knowledge Base article<https://support.sirsidynix.com/kb/136792> says that items are "available" in Enterprise if: * Not a shadow item * Not in a shadowed location * Not on reserve * Not in transit * Have no charges * Are not flagged to be recirculated This seems more in line with what we are seeing in Enterprise. That means that on order items, items on the hold shelf, items in locations like Reference, etc. are all included as available in the counts. Furthermore, the numbers displayed in the detailed display and the hit list do not match. Neither seems to reflect the actual number of copies that one could walk into a library and check out. Because of the number of issues this is causing library staff and patrons, we will be temporarily removing both counts as we continue to investigate with SirsiDynix. Ideally, we would like to display a true number of available copies-those sitting on a shelf ready to be checked out. We will be making this change on Friday morning. It will not require any downtime. We will send an update to the membership when we reach a more sustainable resolution. Thank you for your continued feedback on Symphony and Enterprise.

Patrons can now add their local libraries, access their library account, perform searches, and place holds on the SWAN catalog from any network, anywhere, as expected.

Symphony WorkFlows error message "Heading not found"

by Karen Bar

To All Member Libraries: We have had several reports this morning of staff receiving an error message "Heading not found" when searching by ISBN. In these cases, the records were retrievable using other indexes. It appears possible the there was an issue with the indexing overnight.

SWAN has opened a case with SirsiDynix and we will update you when we have more information.

Creating a Pre-Cat revised data entry standards

by Karen Bar

Please route to Cataloging/Technical Services staff: At the SWAN Cataloging Users Group meeting today, we introduced revised data entry standards for creating Pre-Cat records. These new standards are being implemented to improve the patron experience in Enterprise, provide improved searching in WorkFlows to minimize duplicate Pre-Cat records and to provide a higher success rate of record matching for OCLC records captured using SmartPort. I have attached the updated document which has also been posted to the SWAN support site. These are the changes: Enter both 10 digit and 13 digit ISBNs, if available. Enter standard identifying numbers in the appropriate field: 020=ISBN number 022=ISSN number 024=Standard number/UPC number 028=Manufacturer's number 245 field: Include articles in the title. Enter first indicator as 0 (zero) and second indicator 0 (zero) if the title does not contain articles or enter second indicator as appropriate for non-filing characters. See attached document for further explanation. We have updated the brief title templates and these changes will complete overnight. As a reminder, we do have openings in the upcoming August 7th SWAN SD Pre-Cat Training session. Please contact SWAN Bibliographic Services if you have any questions. Thank you!
