SWAN Expo 2019 Registration Still Open!
by Aaron Skog 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

Hello SWAN Libraries, This is just one last reminder that the SWAN 2019 Expo on Friday, August 16th is still open for registration. You can review all of the session descriptions and times on our "annual conference" page below. https://support.swanlibraries.net/meetings-trainings/annual-conference One quick note is that we added the option to register for SWAN Expo without using a credit card. You can chose the payment during the EventBrite registration<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/swanx2019-annual-conference-registration-56062…>, and from the "Payment Method" select Pay By Invoice. What SWAN will do is compile all staff registered at your library and send an invoice after the event. You can also register multiple staff as well. Check-in for the morning and breakfast begins at 8:30am, and the event will kick off shortly after 9am. We will be in Building M for this event (same as previous years), so parking in lot C1/entry via 111th St. is your easiest way to find us. Look for the giant inflatable swans outside our building. The event is held at Moraine Valley Community College, 9000 W. College Parkway in Palos Hills, and GPS/map apps should work just fine. You can also access the campus map from the above page, or directly from this link to the map PDF: https://support.swanlibraries.net/system/files/Public/201908/MVCC%20campus%… Thank you so much to everyone who registered for this year's event - we are excited to spend the day with you!

Print notice preference
by Helen Pinder 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

~~~Please route to appropriate staff~~~ In our review of users receiving print notices, we have identified and corrected some in-house records that were receiving print notices. Any notices designated for in-house accounts, homebound and outreach users, staff, and processing related users should be associated with a library email address. If we find any generic users with no email address, we will be updating these users with xxx(a)notices.swanlibraries.net<mailto:xxx@notices.swanlibraries.net> to curb notice printing waste. Also note "Do not mail" in the comment, note, or name field will not prevent a print notice from being generated. Please review your in-house users, homebound users, staff, etc. and associate a valid library email address which is monitored by staff with the user record. For a complete understanding of how notice delivery is determined visit the SWAN Support Site - Patron Notices & Notifications<https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/64674>.
