Extended Due Dates effective today, 3/16/15

by Samantha Dietel

Hi all, As part of the migration process, libraries are required to use SirsiDynix Symphony Offline beginning April 11th until we are live on Symphony, sometime on April 14th. SirsiDynix recommends that no one check in materials while on Offline. In order to cut down on the number of items due back during this time period, due dates will be extended system-wide so that items should not be due back from April 6th, 2015 through April 19th, 2015. This morning, SWAN has begun extending due dates for items that would normally circulate for 21 days. This involves the implementation of an absolute due date of April 20th, 2015. As of 10:30 AM this morning: * Items that normally receive a 21-day loan period should now checkout with a due date of 4/20/15. Please note that items with holds may receive due dates that exceed 4/20/15. * All items that receive this absolute due date are non-renewable. Staff should override at the desk when appropriate and/or check in and check back out. Please note that patrons will be unable to renew said materials via the WebPAC. * The week of March 30th, SWAN will revert these edits so that materials will naturally fall on due dates of 4/20/15 and beyond. Once the changes are reverted, materials should check out and renew as expected and staff intervention will no longer be necessary. SWAN will continue to update loan rule parameters as we get closer and closer to the migration so that what is stated above continues to hold true. On Monday, 3/23/15, 14-day loan periods will be affected. We understand that this is not a perfect solution and apologize for any confusion and/or inconvenience as we continue to try and find a more efficient workflow. Thank you all for your understanding and patience. Please send any questions to migrationhelp(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:migrationhelp@swanlibraries.net>. Samantha Dietel SWAN Member Services Consultant 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5163 Fax: 630.734.5056 samantha.dietel(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:samantha.dietel@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

clerical error in email address

by Kate Boyle

Everyone- There was an error in migration memo #11. The email address in the Patron Purge area of the memo was typed incorrectly and not caught by spell-check. It should appear as usual migrationhelp(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:migrationhelp@swanlibraries.net> My apology. Thank you for your understanding. Patron Purge We are planning on running a Patron purge to update the patron database before we migrate the patron (user) data to SirsiDynix. Our test report indicates that if we purge good patrons that have been inactive for three years and have no money owed we would be deleting 130,000 patron records. Our plan is to purge these patrons before the end of the month. However, if you would want to include any of your patrons and owe less than $5.00 or $10.00 (and have been inactive for three years or more), please send your request before April 1st to migrationhelp(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:migrationhelp@swanlibraries.net> .

Important Note: Migration Memo #12: SirsiDynix WorkFlows 3.5GA Installer

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Libraries and Information Technology Staff: Please be aware - since we have not yet migrated our Symphony Test Server to version 3.5GA, you may receive a version mismatch notification with a prompt to update your client under the following circumstances... 1. You have already upgraded your WorkFlows client to 3.5GA and are attempting to login to the Test Server (Test is on 3.5B) 2. You have not yet upgraded your WorkFlows client to 3.5GA and are attempting to login to the Production Server (Production is on 3.5GA) In both of these scenarios, please ignore the update prompt (click "no" or "okay") and continue with your work as usual. We will be cloning our Production Server to Test again this weekend, during which all server versions will match at 3.5GA. After the clone, if you have not already updated your clients to 3.5GA, both servers will prompt you. Please continue to ignore the prompts from WorkFlows, and perform SWAN's installation as soon as possible prior to the March 31st deadline.

Migration Memo #10: Suspension of Technical Services Activity

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Libraries: **REVISED START DATE** **PLEASE REVIEW ATTACHED MEMO** All SWAN library cataloging activity for technical services staff will be suspended starting *Wednesday April 1 at 9:00PM* through Monday April 13. Cataloging will resume with the go-live on the new Symphony system Tuesday April 14. The start of this suspension period has been moved up from Friday April 4, effectively by two whole days. We regret that this inactivity must start earlier, but after finalizing the 46 steps required to complete the data migration, it became evident that additional downtime was needed at the start of the process. The ILS data migration will be completed in two phases. The first one involves all of the 1.5 million bibliographic records, 8 million item records, all associated authority records, serial records, and acquisitions data being extracted from our current Millennium ILS and then loaded into the new Symphony ILS. We have added some additional data mapping within this process to improve some of the original data mapping SWAN staff designed in October. This has added additional processing time within our migration. The second phase of the data migration will extract the patron, checkout, bills, holds, circulation history, patron photos, and digital signatures. This is planned to begin Friday April 10 in the evening, and will end all circulation activity on the Millennium ILS until the Symphony go-live on April 14. Details on this period will be sent in a forthcoming memo. Questions about Migration Memo #10 should be sent to migrationhelp(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:migrationhelp@swanlibraries.net> This memo is archived on the SWAN support site with the other Migration Memos: https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/migration-memos Again, we apologize for this date change. Even as early as Thursday last week at the Quarterly we announced a different start date for this event. New information and additional tasks resulted in adjusting our plans.

SWAN Uniform Practice for Volume Field Information

by Karen Bar

In order to improve the customer experience when placing volume level holds, SWAN will be standardizing the volume field information. Effective immediately, the following will be standard practice for volume information entered into the volume field. Please note there is a space preceding the number in each example. All letters are to be uppercase. V. 1 BOOK 1 DISC 1 PART 1 Do not add "set", "season 1" or the like into the volume field for a boxed set. This should be left blank for all sets cataloged moving forward. Consultants from Innovative have begun work to clean up the volume fields in existing records. This project will convert any variations of volume, book, disc or part to the above format. SWAN Bibliographic Services staff will address additional volume field data cleanup post go-live. Migration Memo #10 will be forthcoming with additional information.
