SWAN Member Libraries:
We have set the date of our membership meeting for our FY17 budget draft review on Tuesday, February 9th at 9:30am, in the main meeting room at Burr Ridge. Because we are no longer holding monthly Committee of the Whole meetings, this meeting will serve to review the FY17 budget document to date and share feedback and questions. The budget will then be voted upon during the March Quarterly meeting as it usually is.
The 2016 SWAN Meeting Calendar has been updated as well: https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/images/SWAN_Membershi…
Let me know if you have any questions!

We are currently experiencing an Enterprise catalog outage. SirsiDynix is aware of the issue and is currently in the process of restarting the Enterprise service.
They anticipate a full restoration in approximately ten minutes.
I'll follow up once we have confirmed that all Enterprise services have been restored.
Thanks for your patience.
