Today is Gift #3

by Kate Boyle

On the Third Day of (insert your favorite holiday) ----SWAN elves gave to me [cid:image001.jpg@01D13261.40302A90] 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 #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!

*Important* Update on Heading Keys Indexing

by Karen Bar

SWAN Member Library and Cataloging Staff: SirsiDynix continues work on indexing headings. While a number of headings have since been dynamically indexed, it does appear that we are still receiving some "Heading Keys Need to be Indexed First" error messages. Until further notice, please do not enter new pre-cats as existing pre-cats may not be displayed and this might create duplicate records. You may also encounter difficulty adding items to bibliographic records. Thank you for your patience. Karen Bar SWAN Bibliographic Services Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5138 Fax: 630.734.5056 karen.bar(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:karen.bar@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

*Important* "Heading Keys Need to be Indexed First" error message

by Karen Bar

SWAN Member Library and Cataloging Staff: We have received reports of library staff receiving the "Heading Keys Need to be Indexed First" error message in several situations including when attempting to add items or display pre-cats that were created yesterday. This appears to be related to the earlier issue of one of our critical system maintenance reports unexpectedly running long last night. We are working with SirsiDynix to resolve the issue. Until further notice, it is advised not to enter new pre-cats as existing pre-cats may not be displayed and this might create duplicate records. You may also encounter difficulty adding items to bibliographic records. We hope to have this resolved as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience. Karen Bar SWAN Bibliographic Services Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5138 Fax: 630.734.5056 karen.bar(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:karen.bar@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.netThis
