Of those, 24,352 were returned with address changes for a change rate of 3.2%. In preparation, we have temporarily disabled the Symphony function to update Last Activity Date when a patron's address information is changed.

Upcoming Symphony Database Maintenance - Thursday, November 27

by SWAN Communications

SWAN Member Library Staff: Please be aware that routine database re-indexing will take place over the Thanksgiving holiday this week. To ensure the reliability and integrity of our Symphony database, the Headings index needs to be rewritten. Our maintenance window will begin after libraries close Wednesday evening and we expect this window to conclude Thursday evening. This process takes upwards of 24 hours, but due to the holiday, we don't anticipate this process to cause downtime for library staff. Throughout the duration of maintenance, WorkFlows will be inaccessible. Our Aspen catalog will remain online, but My Account features will be briefly unavailable at the start of the maintenance window. Once maintenance has concluded, we will notify the membership via SWANcom and an update on our support site<https://swanlibraries.net/news/2025-11/95023>. If there are any questions regarding the upcoming maintenance, please submit a ticket<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>. Thanks! SWAN Library Services 915 Harger Rd. Suite 260, Oak Brook, IL 60523 Email: help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> Phone: 844-SWANLIB (844-792-6542)
