SWAN Libraries - The Crete Public Library is currently experiencing phone issues. These issues are causing calls to be dropped, and no calls coming in or out at times. They are in contact with their service provider and expect these problems to persist for several days. We will inform you when their service is restored.

Self-nomination form for SWAN Circ Advisory

by Kate Boyle

+++ Please route to appropriate personnel +++ Everyone - It is the time of year when we begin the election process for the SWAN Circulation Advisory Committee. The Committee is composed of 11 representatives from SWAN libraries and chaired by myself. This year we have 5 people whose terms are up in November. The election process is very simple. Any Circulation Manager/Supervisor or a person with oversight of the Circulation department may throw their hat in the ring (self-nominate). Everyone that submits a self-nomination form is included on the election ballot. All we ask is that you submit a few words in support of your nomination, basically why you want to serve on the Committee and what you see as your contribution to the Committee (what you bring to the table). Your statement in support of your self-nomination will be shared in the election ballot. All this is done using a survey. It only takes a few minutes to self-nominate. Things you need to know about the SWAN Circ Advisory Committee : we meet 6 times a year (every two months), we publish our agenda a week before our meetings, our meetings are open to all. Obviously, we discuss circulation policies and procedures and are known to make recommendations to the SWAN Board upon request. The current Committee members with terms ending in 2016 are : Mary Moss (EPS), Jessica Nawrocki (FRS), Roberta Richter (LPS), Brittany Smith (WMS) and Tori Tracy (PCS). These individuals may or may not choose to run again. The self-nomination form will be open on Friday, October 7th. The form is available here: https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/Circ-Adv-Nomination-16/index.html .<https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/Circ-Adv-Nomination-16/index.html> Nominations close on Friday, October 21st at Noon. Please consider joining the Committee. We would love to hear from fresh voices with new insights and perspectives.

Update on overdues and bills

by Kate Boyle

+++ Route to Appropriate Personnel +++ Everyone - This week SWAN staff completed a review of the various notices and billing processes. As a result, SWAN has tweaked the logic and the run order of the notices to assure that all notices are being generated appropriately. The major tweak has been to the run order of the printed notices generated for failed SVA phone calls. As we implement this change a few patrons that have not received overdue notices or bills for materials still outstanding may now receive the appropriate overdue printed notice. This is a small number of individuals that still have outstanding overdue items. We wanted to provide you with this information in case any of your patrons inquire as to why they didn't receive an overdue notice until now. There is the possibility that a patron may receive notices for a few days in a row as the notice cycles through the process. Beginning October 6th the reports are going to run in this new order: SMS, SVA, Email and lastly Print. Any patron who does not fit the criteria for the other types of notices will default to print. Please call, email, or send a ticket to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> if you should have any questions.
