*IMPORTANT* SWAN Membership Fees: Overview & Request for Bond Payment Schedule

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Libraries, Happy 2018! The SWAN Membership Fees for FY19 will be presented at the Tuesday, February 6, 2018 Committee of the Whole meeting, which will be held at 9:30am at RAILS location 125 Tower Drive, Burr Ridge, IL. In advance of this meeting, SWAN is requesting some information from public libraries. Based on feedback from the membership, the SWAN Board revised the public library fee formula proposed and presented by the Fees Committee. The formula now removes bond payment amounts that are used in a debt service. In advance of the meeting, *I will need public libraries to submit your bond payment schedule by January 30, 2018.* Why is a document with the bond payment schedule requested? Quite simple, it will allow us to put your library's bond payment into the formula once, and SWAN will update it each year. We will not have to bother you each year for your bond payment amount! Explanation of SWAN Fee Formula A direct link is below, but look under the menu "Membership > Fees" on the SWAN Support site. https://support.swanlibraries.net/system/files/Public/SWAN_Fees_Explanation… The online form to submit a bond payment schedule is located here: We are asking for a PDF document be uploaded. An image file such as a PNG, JPG, or GIF will also work. The online form also allows you to add comments, ask questions. This is under the "Webforms" menu on the SWAN Support site. https://support.swanlibraries.net/forms/bond-payment-submission The following 25 libraries responded to our survey in November should complete the form above by January 30, 2018. Here are the libraries that responded they have a debt-service bond payment. 1. Acorn Public Library District 2. Alsip-Merrionette Park Public Library District 3. Batavia Public Library District 4. Bridgeview Public Library 5. Broadview Public Library District 6. Calumet City Public Library 7. Downers Grove Public Library 8. Eisenhower Public Library District 9. Geneva Public Library District 10. Glen Ellyn Public Library 11. Glenwood-Lynwood Public Library District 12. Homewood Public Library District 13. Itasca Community Library 14.

In Transit Shelf Check Reports

by Vickie Totton

Here are your in transit shelf check reports for this week, they are still smaller than usual. If you do not see your library code in the tabs at the bottom of the reports you do not have to search your shelves. You should see a return to "normal" in the reports next week. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year's holiday!

**UPDATE/RESOLUTION** Items checked out to MISSTRNSIT

by Vickie Totton

**UPDATE** Indexing issues We were seeing patron alerts that showed there were available holds when there was nothing on the holdshelf. We initially thought this was due to our nightly maintenance reports not completing. SirsiDynix has informed us this not an indexing issue but instead a bug in WorkFlows. The bug leaves the available flag on an item that is no longer available and has been put in transit to fill a new hold. SirsiDynix has cleared the patrons we reported and they are working on a fix for the bug to be released in a newer version of the software. If you continue to see this occur please open a ticket with SWAN (help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>) and we will submit it to SirsiDynix for clearing. SWAN will continue to monitor the status of the issue. **UPDATE** Processing deliveries The majority of the items mistakenly checked out to MISSTRNSIT have been delivered and cleared. You may continue to see items that show a last patron of MISSTRNSIT, please continue to follow any directions on your screen as you process your deliveries. **RESOLVED** On Shelf Items with Holds reports These reports are back to typical numbers. **RESOLVED** In Transit Shelf Check reports The shelf check report you will receive will have more typical numbers. We will continue to keep you updated as we attempt to rectify the issues created with this mishap. We would also like to thank you for your patience and extra effort put forth by you all during this. Please contact SWAN Member Services with any questions and/or issues you may be experiencing.

In Transit Shelf Check Reports

by Vickie Totton

As per the MISSTRNSIT update that went out yesterday some of the items that were in transit were not checked out to the MISSTRNSIT user. Here are the (much smaller) weekly Shelf Check reports. If you do not see a tab at the bottom with your library code on it, you do not have anything to look for. Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

12 Days of Gifts -- day 12

by Vickie Totton

On the Twelfth Day of (insert your favorite holiday) ----SWAN elves gave to me [cid:image001.jpg@01D37A45.2428C4A0] Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Festivus, the Winter Solstice, or none of the above - SWAN would like to share 12 days of "gifts" with you. The long-awaited ability to remove long overdue items is finally here! We have worked with SirsiDynix on a custom procedure for this feature. Once an item is 1 year overdue the new procedure will: * Disconnect the checkout * Remove the LOST_ASSUM bill * Remove the PROCESSFEE bill * Create a LONGODUE bill * Create a PROCESSFEEX bill * DISCARD your item At this time, we are only running this for local transactions (your patron, your item) on a library by library basis. If you would like to be one of the first libraries we process, please open a ticket by sending an email to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> or logging in to the Help Desk from the SWAN support site, https://support.swanlibraries.net.
