regarding a certain rumored retirement
by Kate Boyle 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

+++ Please share with Appropriate Personnel +++ Very often we hear rumors and they turn out not to be true. But sadly for us in this case the rumor is true, Renee Clanton is retiring from SWAN. After only 30+ years, Renee has tendered her resignation to SWAN notifying us that her last day will by July 31st , 2016. So, the good news is we have four months to try and find her replacement. And the bad news is, we have only 4 months to try and find her replacement. If you are a person in Circulation you have either met Renee at a meeting, spoken to her over the phone, or attended one the numerous workshops she has presented. Renee has been solving problems for Circulation staff at SWAN libraries for over 30 years, to say she will be missed is an understatement (probably one of the biggest understatements of all time). Plans for a reception honoring Renee's contribution to SWAN is in the planning stages. We will be certain to keep everyone in the loop as we firm up a date.

FW: Circulation training for Circ Support Staff
by Kate Boyle 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

+++ Please route to Appropriate Personnel +++ Over the next few weeks, a select group of Circulation Managers from SWAN libraries will be presenting workshops for Circulation Support staff . As some of you may recall, these Managers are the same people that presented the highly successful Circ Du SWAN program a few years ago. Written in conjunction with SWAN Member Services, the program will cover User Registration, Holds and Holds processing, Patron Notices, Bills and everything we have learned over the last year about SirsiDynix WorkFlows. The good news is there is still time to register and of course the workshop is free! These workshops are being presented not only at the System Headquarters, but also at two local libraries (Frankfort PLD and Eisenhower PLD ) Eisenhower is even hosting one in the evening (6 PM – 8:30 PM) for those staff that find it hard to make a traditional morning or afternoon workshop. You can register for any of these workshops by clicking on the title for the particular event you are interested in attending. Please register as soon as possible, so we can prepare the correct number of training packets. Thank you.
