SWAN Library Directors & Administrators,
We had a great discussion yesterday at the Committee of the Whole meeting held at the Oak Lawn Public Library. I just want to remind everyone we have an online form for providing written feedback.
https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/swan-fees-committee
The Fees Committee Recommendation document was updated and reposted last week, so if you have not reviewed it, there are sections we expanded upon to help clarify the recommendation. The charts in the appendices were updated as well.
Direct link to the PDF document:

The online comments form will close on October 31st.
Thanks for coming out yesterday!

SWAN Directors & Administrators,
The meeting packet for tomorrow's Committee of the Whole (affectionately called a COW) has been reposted. There was a mistake in the packet posting last week in that it left out one section. The link below will have the questions received and written answers supplied by the Fees Committee.
https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/2017-10-17/pa…
I will supply handouts tomorrow of the Q&A for the meeting as well.

SWAN Libraries -
Crestwood Library is currently without power and phone service due to the storms on Saturday. They expect that these services will not be restored until Wednesday the 18th.
++Please route to appropriate staff++
We have found a number of NonSWAN and Chicago Reciprocal Borrowing patron records that do not have ILL_LIBS as their library, most likely due to a learning curve when we first migrated. We have attached a report of these records; please open the NonSWAN RB and Chicago Users report, find the tab with your library name (if you don't see your library you do not have any records to clean up!) and use the Modify User wizard to update the Library field in the user records to ILL_LIBS.
We have also found user records with a Library of ILL_LIBS with User Profiles that belong to SWAN libraries. We have attached a report of these records; please open the ILL_LIBS Library - No NonSWAN or Chicago_P User Profiles report, find the tab(s) with your library User Profile(s) and use the Modify User wizard to examine the record and update necessary fields. If the record belongs to a NonSWAN or Chicago patron update the User Profile field. If the record belongs to your patron, update the Library field to your library.
We greatly appreciate your assistance with this; if you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
