SWAN Libraries- On Sunday, May 6, we will be instating a full cataloging freeze for ALL SWAN LIBRARIES to correct a data load issue with LINC call numbers. Please do not perform any of the following actions or use the following wizards on Sunday: * Adding/Editing items * Creating/Overlaying bib records and pre-cats (neither manually, using Load Bibs Report, nor SmartPort) * Manually deleting items (Charging to DISCARD users is okay) * Global Item Modification Wizard * Transfers Wizard * Load Bibs with Order Info Report * Add Ordered Items wizard * Add Brief Title wizard (ILLs) Any changes made will not be indexed until the full system rebuild later this month, so it is imperative you adhere to the freeze.

New 19 Update - N19 Libraries Should Start Processing Pull Lists
by Dawne Tortorella 02 May '18

02 May '18

The New 19 libraries may now begin to process their pull lists by using the Onshelf Items wizard. Do not panic when you see your lists are quite large and we do not expect you to finish these right away. We do however want you to check out any item you are unable to find on the shelf to your XXXMISSING user so the hold will move on to the next available item. We recommend using the fine free discharge wizard for processing the items on your pull list. For those of you unfamiliar with using the Onshelf Items Wizard, you may want to sort by the location column first and then print.

Update on Holds for All Libraries & Holds for New19
by Aaron Skog 02 May '18

02 May '18

To the New 19 Libraries: SirsiDynix has not yet resolved our holds issues so we are asking our New 19 libraries to continue to hold off using the Onshelf Items wizard to access your pull lists. To All SWAN Libraries: As a reminder we are not expiring AVAILABLE holds and running the Clean Hold Shelf reports until tomorrow, May 3rd. Items on your hold shelves are still showing as available on patron records even though they have passed their pickup by dates, please do not remove the items from your hold shelves until they appear on your Clean Holds Shelf reports tomorrow.

Status of SWAN 5/2: 4 topics
by Aaron Skog 02 May '18

02 May '18

Hi SWAN Libraries, Just a recap and reminder on a few items as we are in a transition period from yesterday's go-live. 1. BLUEcloud Analytics (BCA) harvests were paused and now have resumed. The data is processing. It may take an extra day to accurately reflect data transactions. We expect BCA to reflect accurate data by Friday, May 4. *This means New 19 libraries will unlikely see their library data until Friday.* 2. Issues pertaining to data migration for our 19 libraries are being logged here: https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2018-05-02/go-live-updates-and-issue… 3. Two holds processing reports for the entire consortium are paused as we wait until Thursday. This allows us to fix a number of holds issues related to the 19 libraries. *We will send specific instructions via SWANcom to the New 19 soon.* https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2018-05-01/holds-processing 4. SWAN's priority at the moment is to ensure holds, items, and patron notification will be correct. We ask that everyone be patient with their "back of the house" operations for cataloging, acquisitions-these are being impacted by some of the maintenance we have prioritized on our Symphony system. Thank you all again.

All New 19 libraries may continue to check materials in. There is still some work that must be done manually on the SWAN end-if you notice a trapped hold that seems incorrect, please set the item aside.

Important: Symphony Reports Behind Schedule on 5/1
by Steven Schlewitt 01 May '18

01 May '18

SWAN Member Library Staff: Due to the database rebuild, we're currently seeing a long backlog of Symphony reports. We're currently about one day behind, and are hoping to catch up throughout the day by shifting around the current schedule. Additionally, we'll be processing late-upload Offline transactions throughout the day, and these reports could further delay the queue. To avoid further delays, please avoid scheduling new reports, if possible, and suspend acquisitions reports until we're able to catch up completely. Thank you for your patience, -- 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/
