by Tara Wood 30 Mar '18

30 Mar '18

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 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

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.
