SWAN has decided to delay the upgrade to SYMPHONY 3.5.2 in order to allow us time to include the new Service Pack 1 release. This combined upgrade to 3.5.2.1 will be live on Tuesday, June 13th. As many of you know, we want to implement Auto-renewals after the upgrade to allow us to set the renewal period from the original due date of the material, as opposed to the date the renewal is performed. So, you can anticipate Auto-renewals to be up and working for your library on June 13th (unless your library opted-out). SWAN has the master for the customizable Auto-renewal bookmarks ready to go and you will be able to download a .doc and a .pdf version on Monday, May 1st. The sticky labels have been ordered and upon receipt will be sent to your library if you requested some. If you should have any questions, please send a ticket to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> or call us at 844-SWAN-LIB.
Thank you for your patience. Have a lovely weekend.

I just wanted to share information regarding the RAILS required delivery count to be held May 8 -12th. The following announcement was sent via RAILS enews.
Reminder: Required Delivery Count May 8-12
All RAILS member libraries, except for libraries that are members of CARLI (Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois), are required to count all outgoing items being picked up for delivery between Monday, May 8 and Friday, May 12. Outgoing items are those being delivered from your library to another location, including items being sent to fill interlibrary loan requests and items you are returning to other libraries.
Beginning on Friday, May 5, after your delivery items have been picked up for that day, please count all items in each delivery container, complete this form<http://railslibraries.us1.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=2c51285b8d63e23716…>, and place it on top of the items in each container. Please use this same procedure through Friday, May 12. See more information<https://www.railslibraries.info/services/delivery-fine-count>.

Current SWAN Member Libraries,
SWAN is welcoming 19 new libraries to the consortium, with a go-live date in spring/summer of 2018. Throughout the migration, these new 19 libraries will be paired with current SWAN member libraries to have one-on-one sister library relationships.
Current and future SWAN libraries will be able to discuss services and products, network, share knowledge and resources, as well as strengthen relationships within the Illinois library community. We believe this is a great opportunity to welcome the new libraries, and know that both current and new members have a wealth of knowledge we've accumulated using SirsiDynix products.
We're still in need of current SWAN member libraries to volunteer for the Sister Library program. We'd like to introduce our new and current member libraries at the June Quarterly meeting on June 1 (http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=24134). After we have enough current member libraries that have volunteered, we will email you to let you know what library we have matched you with, the contact information you'll want to have to interact with your sister library, and more details about what kind of interactions you might want to have with your paired library. The relationships will kick off at the June 1 Quarterly meeting.
Currently, the SWAN member libraries that have volunteered to be paired with New 19 libraries include:
* Alsip-Merrionette Public Library
* Clarendon Hills Public Library
* Downers Grove Public Library
* Eisenhower Public Library District
* Indian Prairie Public Library
* La Grange Park Public Library
* Matteson Area Public Library
* Northlake Public Library District
* Oak Park Public Library
* River Forest Public Library
* Thomas Ford Memorial Library
* Tinley Park Public Library
* Westmont Public Library
If your library has not yet signed up and you are interested in participating, please sign up at https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2017-03-07/swan-sister-library-sign. You can also reach out if you have any questions or would like more information.
