SWAN Circ Advisory Committee Election ballot closes at Noon tomorrow

by Kate Boyle

Everyone - Just a quick reminder that the election ballot for the SWAN Circ Advisory Committee closes tomorrow at Noon. 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. Over 40 libraries have already voted, if you haven't had the time yet you have just 27 hours left. Seriously, thank you to all who have voted. I 'll probably have the election results ready to send out tomorrow afternoon.

Rebuild User Database Report to Run Overnight

by Samantha Dietel

SWAN Member Library Staff: We have been experiencing a large volume of tickets related to user records and searching. Specifically, users records are retrievable by user ID but not by name. User records have also appeared duplicated for a period of time after having been created/edited. SWAN IT is running a rebuild of the user database, which will be completed overnight. This should resolve all reported issues. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Thank you.

*Reminder* Change in RAILS delivery service days for SWAN Libraries

by Aaron Skog

*This email also went out September 9, 2015* On behalf of RAILS Delivery & Facilities Director Mark Hatch: RAILS has renewed our delivery outsourcing agreement with Continental Transportation Solutions (CTS) effective Sunday, October 25, 2015. One major change will take place with the renewal that will affect libraries in the Burr Ridge service area. Beginning on October 25, deliveries will take place from Sunday night through Thursday night and incoming materials will be available for library staff each weekday morning. For example, materials delivered Sunday night will be ready and waiting on Monday morning. This change will make it easier for CTS to process materials more consistently and will even out the delivery load. There will be no other changes to the service CTS provides your library and you will continue to process outgoing materials in the same way. Once again, this change will take effect on Sunday, October 25. If you have any questions about this change or your CTS delivery service in general, please contact your RAILS delivery liaison, Demond Warfield, at 630.734.5142 or demond.warfield(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:demond.warfield@railslibraries.info>.

*Planned Outage* Symphony Web Services, Tonight (10/8) at 9:15pm

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Library Staff: This evening at 9:15pm, to resolve intermittent encryption issues and improve overall security of our Enterprise OPAC, SWAN is planning a brief outage of Symphony Web Services, which acts as the link between Symphony WorkFlows and Enterprise OPAC servers. This outage is expected to last only 15 minutes, but likely far less. During the outage, the "My Account" and holds functions of Enterprise will be inaccessible. No other visible services should be affected by this outage. We'll send an additional SWANcom this evening when the process has completed. Thank you, Steven Schlewitt SWAN IT Manager Burr Ridge Office Phone: 630.734.5130 Fax: 630.734.5056 steven.schlewitt(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:steven.schlewitt@railslibraries.info> http://www.railslibraries.info

*Important* WorkFlows Outage & Lost Transactions This Morning

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Library Staff: After further investigation, we've found that the server outage that occurred this morning at 9:48 was likely preceded by some transactional data loss. This data loss occurred between 9:31 and the outage at 9:48. What this means is that any changes to the Symphony database, including circulations, bib record modifications, and patron record additions were likely lost during that time. Please attempt to recapture any transactions and changes that may have occurred at that time to the best of your abilities. We have determined the root cause of the issue and have taken precautions to ensure no further issues are encountered. We sincerely apologize for the trouble this has caused, and are grateful for your patience as we worked toward a resolution.
