Circulation ---- Attached is a memo regarding the "Clean Holds Shelf" report . On September 8th, the report run by the SWAN Office will be changed to not trap any holds. This will result in a small change to the processing of materials in your office. We are making this change to the report to eliminate the possibility of pre-mature hold pickup notices being produced.
If you run your own "Clean Holds Shelf" report(s), you will need to update the Trap Holds tab in the report as described in the attached memo.
Thank you for your cooperation.
If you should have any questions regarding the memo, please contact us at 630-734-5153 or help(a)swanlibraries.net

The State Library has recently announced that the FY'15 ILLINET Interlibrary Loan Traffic Survey is now available. This survey is designed to collect your Interlibrary Loan and Reciprocal Borrowing activity for the period of July 2014 - June 2015. I have attached a memo that explains how to pull together these numbers by combining your III Millennium statistical reports with the new SirsiDynix reports. The deadline for this report is Feb. 29th, 2016, but I thought it best to get this information out to everyone while we still are familiar with the Millennium statistical reports.

Subject: [SWANcom] eRC Missing Collections
To All SWAN Libraries:
In monitoring eRC collections, I have identified five libraries that are missing an Overdrive collection. This appears to be unrelated to the issue earlier this week. The issue that started last week and has been resolved involved collections not syncing properly between the admin module and Enterprise profile. In this case, the collections do not appear at all in the admin module. SirsiDynix must reestablish the collection. I am also pressing SirsiDynix to identify a reason that these collection would drop from an institution.
The affected libraries are:
* Calumet City (CCS) - missing Overdrive Default collection (Media on Demand)
* Evergreen Park (EVS) - missing Overdrive Default collection (Media on Demand)
* Prairie Trails (PTS) - missing Overdrive Advantage collection (My Media Mall)
* Schiller Park (SPS) - missing Overdrive Advantage collection (Media on Demand)
* Thomas Ford (TFS) - missing Overdrive Advantage collection (Media on Demand)
To all libraries with digital content: please check your Enterprise profiles and compare the counts of digital content to the counts in your collections with vendors.
To confirm your collection's presence in your profile:
* Navigate to your library's public profile (catalog.swanlibraries.net/xxx where xxx is your three letter code)
* Select "Digital Catalog" from the search target box (first drop down)
* Click Search without entering search terms to see a complete list of your digital content.
You will see the total count for all vendors at the top of your results (# results found), as well as counts by Electronic Format in the first facet on the left side of the screen.
If your Enterprise profile counts seem significantly lower than the number of titles you have access to directly through Overdrive, Axis 360, 3M, or Recorded Books, please submit a ticket to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>. Counts may vary slightly due to the syncing process (for example, titles ordered yesterday may not be in Enterprise today).

Please review the updates on BC Commerce below. Please submit any questions to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>.
Fix from SirsiDynix
SWAN has received an update from SirsiDynix on the expected fix for BC Commerce issues. ProPay is completing the work necessary on their API, and will then send new documentation to SirsiDynix. The SirsiDynix development is prepared to receive the documentation, after which they will integrate the changes and begin testing the updated version. Justin Swain, who oversees BC Commerce, says that the work is "pretty close to schedule." SWAN will update the membership as soon as we are notified about SirsiDynix's next steps.
Updated Reports Documentation
The BC Commerce Reconciliation report can be retrieved from Workflows in an Excel workbook. The Excel file is much more readable than the format generated when you open the report directly from finished reports. The Excel file can be downloaded using the Fixed Format Manager helper from the finished reports wizard. The BC Commerce Documentation has been updated to reflect this new information. https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/commerce
ProPay PCI Compliance Question
We received a question from a member library regarding PCI Compliance and the SAQ-A. Should libraries be submitting this information? We reached out to Account Management at ProPay who replied: "SAQ-A information would typically only need to be submitted once a year. ProPay would be sure to reach out to those organizations who need to prove PCI compliance when that comes. Since all ProPay accounts with Sirsi are equipped with ProtectPay, they are already PCI compliant. For now, I would suggest that no libraries need to worry about completing an SAQ-A unless they are contacted by ProPay and requested to do so."

SWAN Member Libraries & Information Technology Staff:
Microsoft Windows 10 is here, and I know many IT administrators are excited to get it installed and running at your local libraries; however, we ask that you exercise caution when upgrading to the new platform, as it has not yet been fully tested and certified for compatibility with our version of SirsiDynix WorkFlows or the Enterprise OPAC. That being the case, abnormalities may arise, potentially in the areas of user permissions, Java functionality, and printing. SWAN staff will begin testing the new Windows platform alongside SirsiDynix as soon as possible and post any discovered issues to the "Known Issues<https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/known-issues>" page on the support site, but please know that until the platform is certified, we will be unable to troubleshoot issues to the fullest extent.
The official statement regarding Windows 10 compatibility from SirsiDynix is as follows:
"With the release of Windows 10 from Microsoft this week, SirsiDynix is currently working to ensure that all product applications and services are compatible with the OS and its new browser, Microsoft Edge. Our first priority is to certify Windows 10 for Enterprise, Portfolio, eResource Central, BLUEcloud PAC, e-Library, HIP, EOS.web, and Social Library.
SirsiDynix recommends that sites not upgrade their staff workstations to Windows 10 until it has been certified."
If you have any questions about WorkFlows compatibility or are running Windows 10 and have an experience to share, please email the SWAN IT team at it(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:it@swanlibraries.net>.

Hi Ian,
This is nothing pressing because we are still a little bit away from introducing self-check out here at SFS, but upon testing the self-pay module, it didn't seem to want to proceed forward to allow for a patron to pay for any fines. No error messages popped up, it just didn't do anything.
I was curious if there was any lines in the config files that needed to be changed so that this worked properly?
Again, this is not urgent at the moment, but if you can let me know at your convenience if there is something that should be added to make this work, it would be appreciated.

I have received a progress report from SirsiDynix. At this time, most library collections have been corrected. The Oak Park Public Library is still missing the shared Overdrive collection on their profile, though the Advantage titles are appearing normally. SD Support is continuing to work towards a resolution for their collection. All other libraries should see all of their econtent at this time.
To confirm your collection’s presence in your profile:

You will see the total count for all vendors at the top of your results (# results found), as well as counts by Electronic Format in the first facet on the left side of the screen.
At this time, the SD Support team is not sure why this issue affected some libraries but not others. Both SD Support and SWAN will continue to monitor these collections. As always, if you observe any issues with your collections, please email help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> so we can investigate.

To All SWAN Libraries:
I have been in touch with SirsiDynix support again this morning, and have no new information to share on this case. Based on my testing this morning, the issue remains isolated to the Overdrive collections of the libraries listed in my previous email (below).
To answer the questions I received since sending the initial email on Friday:
· Is there anything we (library staff or SWAN staff) need to do to add new titles to our eRC collections? No. The process is automated. When titles are added to your econtent collections with supported vendors, an import process it automatically triggered for eRC. When working correctly, the items are imported into the eRC admin console that SWAN administers, and then automatically added to the Digital Catalog of the proper Enterprise profile.
· Can you clarify whether it is recently added titles that are not appearing or give more information on how the collections are behaving? Based on my Friday conversation with SirsiDynix support, the problem is with the indexing portion of the import process. The collections are reindexed as part of automated processes mentioned above. Somewhere during that process, the indexes for some libraries’ Overdrive collections were damaged, leaving them unusable. From what I can tell, no titles from the collections with bad indexes are appearing in Enterprise. Some of the affected libraries will still see Overdrive content in their profiles because their Advantage collections have a separate, properly functioning, index.
I will stay in touch with SirsiDynix support this afternoon, and will send another update by the end of the day.

Subject: UPDATE: Overdrive Content in eResource Central
To All SWAN Libraries:
This evening I spoke with SirsiDynix Support and learned that they are aware of the issue and have already escalated it to development and given it high priority. A number of customers in addition to SWAN are impacted by this problem. A list of affected SWAN libraries is below.
The issue is in the import and indexing of the eRC titles. When new titles are added and the collection reindexes, somehow the indexes are becoming corrupted. During my conversation with support I asked if libraries should suspend purchasing of new ebooks if possible, but was advised that it is not necessary.
At this time, the issue appears to be isolated to Overdrive collections. While titles are not accessible to users via Enterprise, Overdrive collections at mediaondemand.org<http://mediaondemand.org>, mymediamall.net<http://mymediamall.net> and emedialibrary.lib.overdrive.com<http://emedialibrary.lib.overdrive.com> are available in their entirety.
We do not yet have an expected resolution date, stay in contact with SirsiDynix regarding new developments. We expect to have more information on Monday.
Libraries affected by the issue are:
· ADS
· BPS
· BYS
· CHS
· CNS
· CWS
· DOS
· EPS
· ESS
· EVS
· FRS
· GWS
· HDS
· HKS
· HWS
· JDS
· LGS
· MDS
· OLS
· OPS
· PFS
· PHS
· PPS
· RFS
· SFS
· SHS
· TFS
· TPS
· WMS
· WOS
· WRS

Subject: Overdrive Content in eResource Central
To SWAN Library Staff:
Last week, one library reported missing Overdrive content from their eRC collection in Enterprise, which we were able to remedy. Today two libraries made similar reports. After receiving the reports, I began checking other libraries in the Media On Demand group and found that several libraries are missing the shared collection from their profiles. It appears that advantage collections are not being impacted.
I have opened a high priority case with SirsiDynix to investigate the cause of this issue. It does not appear to be related to today’s Enterprise login issues.
At this time, I do not have a complete list of affected libraries. I am continuing to test profiles. So far, I have observed that
· BCS, BIS, BWS, BVS, HSS, have their content.
· ADS, BPS, BYS, MDS, OLS, OPS, and WRS are missing content.
If your Enterprise profile appears to be missing content, please send a ticket to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>.
We will continue to work with SirsiDynix to identify a cause and implement a solution. I will send updates as they become available.
