Web Services Downtime Tuesday, April 3rd at 9 AM

by Tara Wood

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: https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2018-03-30/upcoming-web-services-upg… Tara Wood User Experience Manager tara(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:tara@swanlibraries.net> * (630)326-7706 SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://www.swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>

Masking PINs in Symphony Set for Mon 4/16

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Libraries, This announcement pertains to one area of our Symphony global configuration that is overdue for improved security: masking personal identification numbers, or PINs. With SWAN's database of 1 million library user's information, and soon to be 1.3 million patron records, it is time to provide a minimum of privacy to our patron's accounts. What was initially a temporary measure after SWAN switched to Symphony in April 2015, instead lasted three years. We have set Monday, April 16, 2018 as the day when PINs in Symphony will no longer be visible, but will be masked by asterisks. Please read the SWAN support site post for some background on this upcoming change. https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2018-03-27/masking-patron-pins-start… If you have questions regarding this upcoming change, please send in a support request to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> or reach out to me directly.

Special or Academic Library Cardholders at Public Libraries

by Samantha Dietel

++Please route to appropriate personnel++ Effective Tuesday, 3/27/2018 Should a cardholder from a special or academic library attempt to use their card at a public SWAN library, that user will be blocked from circulation. This will help eliminate any accidental checkouts to these users should staff miss that this is not a public library user record. This has been a long-outstanding request that we are now happy to accommodate! If public library staff attempt to check out to or renew items for a special or academic library cardholder, they will see the following message. Please note that this message cannot be overridden. [cid:image001.png@01D3C4E1.66E5FAB0] This is the same message that public library staff currently see when attempting to modify a special or academic library record. Public libraries will still be able to check in materials from special or academic library cardholders. Happy Monday!
