SWAN Member Library Staff:
It's a busy week here at SWAN!
Tonight between 9pm-10pm, we plan on migrating our Symphony Web Services to the latest version, with hopes that this will resolve ongoing E-Commerce issues and improve other various functions within Enterprise. While an hour of downtime is scheduled, we're hoping the actual downtime will be less than 10 minutes.
Tonight's downtime will affect the following services...
- Enterprise My Account functions
- Enterprise library item availability
- Enterprise payments
- BookMyne
- MobileCirc
During the downtime, Enterprise will remain online and items will be searchable. Additionally, Symphony WorkFlows will be unaffected by this downtime.
A banner will be displayed on the Enterprise homepages to alert patrons of the outage.
Additional updates will be sent tonight via SWANcom. Thank you for your patience.

On the Sixth Day of (insert your favorite holiday) ----SWAN elves gave to me [cid:image002.jpg@01D13716.B44A2020]
Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Festivus, the Winter Solstice, or none of the above - SWAN would like to share 12 days of "gifts" with you.
Gift #6 --- Spanish and Polish Language Notices --- We are pleased to announce that on Feb. 1st, SWAN will begin sending Notices in Spanish and Polish. Receiving notices in foreign languages is based upon your patron supplying a language preference in their Workflows user record. To update a user record, bring up the record in "Modify User". On the Demographics tab, choose the correct preferred language from the dropdown. If you need a language that isn't listed in the dropdown, please open a ticket.
Please note: This feature is different from the Default Language in "My Account" in Enterprise, that language option refers to the catalog interface default language.
Happy Holidays!

Gift #3 --- Have you ever thought -wouldn't it be great to have a third or even fourth User Profile? In the days with Millennium, we needed to limit each library to only two patron types. Well, that was before and today is a new day! If you would like to request an additional new User Profile for your library it is as simple as sending a ticket to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> . Once we receive your request, we will contact you for a consultation and get your new User Profile set up for you. Happy Holidays!
