SWAN Circ Advisory Committee Election ballot opens at Noon.

by Kate Boyle

Everyone - The ballot for the election of six members to the SWAN Circ Advisory Committee opens at Noon today. Thirteen individuals have submitted their names for your consideration. Good luck to all that tossed their hat in the ring. We ask that there is only one ballot cast per library, and recommend that it is cast by the Circulation Manager/ Supervisor. You will find the election ballot here: https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/SWAN-Circ-Election-2015/index.html Election closes Oct. 16th at Noon. Thank you for taking the time to vote.

SWAN Circ Advisory election - Self Nomination form Deadline Noon today!

by Kate Boyle

Just a quick reminder that the deadline to self-nominate for the SWAN Circulation Advisory Committee upcoming election is today at NOON. We have had a number of people submit their names, but there is always room for more. If you were meaning to add your name to the ballot, now is the time to do it. You have three hours. https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/Circ-Adv-Nomination-15/index.html 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 and Renee Clanton. This year we have 6 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, are meetings are open to all, we are currently working on a revision to the SWAN Circulation Policy and discussing future training initiatives along with other Circulation topics. The current Committee members with terms ending in 2015 are : Sheila Adams (GWS), Julie Lombardo (WRS), Cindy Maiello-Gluecklich (MPS), Samantha Millsap (HKS), Debbie Sheehan (INS), and Peggy Tomzik (ESS). These individuals may or may not choose to run again. The self-nomination form will be open on Monday, September 21st. It will be available here: https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/Circ-Adv-Nomination-15/index.html Please consider joining the Committee. We would love to hear from fresh voices with new insights and perspectives.

by Rebecca Malinowski

To All SWAN Library Staff: Many libraries reported issues with renewing items or cancelling holds in My Account on Apple iOS mobile devices. SWAN has added a custom script to Enterprise which has resolved the issue.

Axis 360 and eResource Central

by Rebecca Malinowski

To SWAN Library Staff: eRead libraries may be familiar with the changes Baker and Taylor has recently made to Axis 360. The BLIO format is no longer in use by Axis 360, which appears to be causing an issue with Enterprise downloads via eRC. Users are still able to select Blio as a format from within Enterprise, but are unable to download or return the item from Enterprise or the Axis 360 app. This issue affects all SirsiDynix customers using eResource Central with Axis 360. I've been in touch with the eRead team, who are checking in with Baker and Taylor. We also have a case open with SirsiDynix. We will send an update on an expected resolution when we have more information.
