Good morning member libraries,
The On-Order section is not displaying in the item detail display in Enterprise. In addition, the Holdings section is not displaying in the item detail display for serials.
These are known issues with the latest release of Enterprise. We're working with SirsiDynix to either roll back to a previous version or install a patch.

Robin Hofstetter has joined us in a limited part-time capacity starting on August 1st, and then will switch to full time beginning on Monday, August 27th. Moving forward, Robin will ensure your library's online subscription databases, e-books, and streaming are under careful management and consideration within SWAN's current platform of Enterprise, eResource Central, EBSCO Discovery Service, Article Search, and OpenAthens.

Good morning,
SWAN is working on a new support website. We would like your help to improve the menus, labels, and structure of the site through a card sort. The card sort is online, and it should take about 15 minutes. You will be given several terms and topics, and you will sort them into categories that make sense to you.
To participate:
* Go to the SWAN Support Site Card Sort<https://n65t10yk.optimalworkshop.com/optimalsort/swan/sort>
* Or copy and paste this URL into your browser: https://n65t10yk.optimalworkshop.com/optimalsort/swan/sort
* Follow the instructions and prompts
You're strongly encourage to create your own categories and groups! This will help us make the support site easier for you and your colleagues to use. The card sort will be available until August 28th.
Thank you!
