We have some exciting Circulation updates for you!
Library Calendar
SWAN Libraries now have the option to manage their own Library Calendar, also referred to as Days Closed. The Library Calendar Wizard is now located in the Special Wizards Group under the Circulation toolbar. You will need to use the Circulation Supervisor password to access it.
If you would still prefer SWAN manage your library calendar for you, please email your dates to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>. Be sure to indicate you would like SWAN to manage these dates for you.
If you choose to manage your own Library Calendar, you do not need to send SWAN your scheduled closings. But, for emergency closings - after adding dates to your calendar, please notify SWAN so we can modify existing due dates as a convenience for your patrons and notify the membership on your behalf.
Please see the attached documentation for instructions, and watch this instructional video<https://youtu.be/hhPe-d9eoYA> on our YouTube channel!
Cancellation Notices for Manually Cancelled Holds
SWAN is now able to send hold cancellation notices for holds cancelled in Enterprise or Workflows with an inactive reason of CANCELLED. This includes holds patrons cancel themselves or holds cancelled by staff. Just like the current hold cancellation notices that are already running, these notices are only sent via email and are go out once daily, in the morning.

Good morning member libraries,
SWAN will be working with SirsiDynix to perform an upgrade of the current Symphony Web Services platform. We'll be moving to version 2018.03, which resolves a bug with the 'Forgot My PIN' feature. We've scheduled the upgrade with SirsiDynix for Tuesday April 3rd, to start between 9:00am and 9:30am. This upgrade will require downtime of Web Services for about 20 minutes.
You can read more about the services that will be impacted on the support site:
