ILLINET OCLC FY2023 agreement - cover letter misstatement

by SWAN Communications

Hi everyone, There have been some inquiries about a misstatement on the cover letter of the annual FY2023 OCLC agreement from the Illinois State Library. You can disregard the incorrect sentence "[your library] will receive an invoice from PrairieCat that includes the FY2023 ILLINET/OCLC Group Services Membership Fee." Your library will not be invoiced for OCLC membership-it is included in your SWAN membership. Please complete the agreement and return it per the Illinois State Library instructions. I will be updating the SWAN news post with updates if I receive any additional information. https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2022-05/90998 Regards, Aaron Aaron Skog Executive Director aaron(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:aaron@swanlibraries.net> * 630-326-7022 My pronouns: he/him/his SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>

Aspen is live!

by SWAN Communications

Good morning member libraries, We're officially live on Aspen! All libraries now have an Enterprise banner pointing to their Aspen catalogs and your patrons can copy their lists over from Aspen to Enterprise. You can find more details on the changes implemented today in this news post: https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2022-02/90563 Over the next month, we'll send some reminders to help you update your links for a smooth transition off Enterprise. This has been a years-long journey that started even before Aspen existed, and we're so excited to make a new catalog available to patrons. An extra special thanks to our pilot libraries, who gave us so many recommendations, ideas, and bug fixes to make Aspen really shine: Chicago Ridge, Downers Grove, Oak Brook, Oak Park, St. Charles, Tinley Park, and Villa Park. If you have any issues or questions or just want to say "hooray!", email us at help(a)swanlibraries.net SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 Email: help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> Phone: 844-SWANLIB (844-792-6542) https://support.swanlibraries.net <https://support.swanlibraries.net/>SWANcom Subscription Settings<https://mailman.swanlibraries.net/mailman3/lists/swancom.list.swanlibraries…>

EBSCO year-3 pricing & option to opt-out

by SWAN Communications

Hello everyone, The pricing for the SWAN group-purchase of EBSCO subscription database package was presented at the Committee of the Whole membership meeting last week on February 1st. That pricing is included in the meeting packet, and I have pulled out that pricing which is linked directly to the PDF below. https://support.swanlibraries.net/system/files/Public/EBSCO/EBSCO%20FY23%20… This group purchase is going into its 3rd year renewal, which starts July 1, 2022. If you would like to learn more about this subscription database package, you can read about it on the SWAN Support page: https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/70949 This renewal will move forward with the current 84 participating libraries. Negotiations continue with EBSCO and RAILS to arrive at the final price for SWAN. The year-3 pricing we have shared with you already factors in a 3% increase, which we believe will be the worst-case scenario. One of the demands from EBSCO is that if a library withdraws from the SWAN group-purchase, it would not be able to rejoin at the discounted price. If your library is one of the 11 not participating in the deal, please let me know if you would like to be added back in, as we are still under negotiations. Those 11 libraries do not need to opt-out again if you wish to remain out of the deal. Any public library participating currently will automatically be included in the year-3 renewal. If you would like your library to withdraw from the group purchase arrangement, you can do that by submitting your library's opt-out using the SWAN Support site using the web-form below. The deadline to opt-out is February 18th, end of the day. Opt-out form (Support site login required): https://support.swanlibraries.net/forms/80756 If you have questions about this, you can reach out to Robin Hofstetter via robin(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:robin@swanlibraries.net> or directly with me, Aaron Skog via aaron(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:aaron@swanlibraries.net> This information is posted under News on SWAN Support: https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2022-02/90430 Aaron Skog Executive Director aaron(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:aaron@swanlibraries.net> * 630-326-7022 My pronouns: he/him/his SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>
