Subject: *Update* Issue with Syndetics Images in Enterprise
SWAN Member Library Staff:
A quick update on our Syndetics image issue – this is relating to a widespread ProQuest outage, which is affecting many of their services, including Syndetic Solutions and their research databases.
SirsiDynix has issued a notice of the vendor disruption on their status site below.
https://www.sirsidynixstatus.com/vendor-service-disruption-notification-pro…
Additionally, Proquest has issued a statement on the situation via their blog.
http://www.proquest.com/blog/pqblog/
We’ll send any updates via SWANcom as soon as they become available and have reposted a banner to Enterprise to inform our patrons.

SWAN Member Library Staff:
We're currently investigating an issue affecting Syndetics cover art in our Enterprise catalog. This issue affects cover images for all materials in the catalog.
Materials appear to be searching, displaying, and holding as expected in Enterprise, but cover images for items are not displaying for any records.
We hope to have additional information soon, and will submit any updates via SWANcom.
Thank you,

Tinley Park Public Library is undergoing a major first floor renovation where nearly all adult materials will be unavailable from mid-July to mid-August.
By Monday, July 17, all adult Tinley Park Public Library materials will have a Home Location of Unavailable in WorkFlows and Enterprise.
Beginning July 17th and throughout the renovation, the lobby will offer some new and recently-returned materials.
The 2nd floor's Youth Services collection will be entirely unaffected.
Thank you,

When we resolved the issue with auto renewals it inadvertently pulled in circulation statistics for generic users. We have now resolved this issue and updated all of the circulation statistics on the SWAN support site.
If you use BLUEcloud Analytics (BCA) circulation statistics reports that include generic users you do not have to do anything. If you do not use these reports you will have to rerun your reports for an accurate count.
Thank you again to the libraries who alerted us to the issue and thank you all for your patience during our transition to BCA Circulation Statistics!

Subject: RESOLVED BLUEcloud Analytics Renewals Statistics Incorrect
The issue with auto renewal statistics has been resolved and the Monthly Renewals by Interface report on the SWAN support site has been updated. If you ran any of your own renewal statistics on BCA you will need to re-run them. You will also need to re-run any statistics that combine checkouts and renewals.
Now that the BCA statistics reports have been fully tested we have removed the statistics reports from WorkFlows. This includes any of the Monthly Checkouts by Item Type/Item Cat 2 reports you may have scheduled to run on a monthly basis. Please find attached the documentation for running your statistics reports on BCA.
Thank you to the libraries who reported the issue to us.

Subject: [SWANcom] BLUEcloud Analytics Renewals Statistics Incorrect
It was discovered the renewal statistics reports we ran on BLUEcloud Analytics (BCA) do not include auto renewals. We are able to include them on our reports from WorkFlows and have opened a case with SirsiDynix to determine why they are not included in BCA. We were hoping to have a solution by now so we could re-run the reports on BCA but do not yet have an answer. Once we have an answer we will re-run all of the reports.
If you are using a report from BCA that combines checkouts with renewals those reports will also be incorrect as they are not counting the auto renewals.
Please find attached the June Monthly Renewals by Interface report from WorkFlows. If we do not have a solution by tomorrow we will re-run all of the June renewal statistics in WorkFlows for you.
