Technical Services Department Card
by Samantha Dietel 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

+++ Please route to appropriate personnel +++ We have had a number of requests for a Tech Services Department card for materials that are currently housed in that department for repairs, etc. Please note that you all should currently have a REPAIR user, an ONORDER user, and an INPROC user. If you feel that you would benefit from having another, unique Tech Services Department card that will assign a current location of TECH_DEPT, we can configure that for you. When materials are checked out to a user with a profile of TECH_DEPT, the following will be true: * Items will display with a current location of TECH_DEPT. * The due date will be never. * Items will not be holdable. * Bills will not generate for these items. * The "total charges" counter in the item record will not increment. If you currently have a Tech Services Department card and want the above statements to be true for that user account, please send an email to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>, and we will give you access to the TECH_DEPT user profile. If you do not have a Tech Services Department card but would like one, please send in those requests as well. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you!

**Concluded** Temporary Symphony/Enterprise outage Wednesday evening
by Steven Schlewitt 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

SWAN Member Libraries & Information Technology Staff: Just to elaborate on the outage somewhat - our work last night related to the upcoming retirement of the Millennium servers, as it allowed us to allocate additional server hardware resources from the Millennium servers to the Symphony WorkFlows servers. The additional resources for Symphony WorkFlows servers ensures increased stability and more flexibility for upcoming SWAN IT system projects. Thank you for your patience. 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 From: swancom-bounces(a)list.swanlibraries.net [mailto:swancom-bounces@list.swanlibraries.net] On Behalf Of Ian Nosek Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2015 10:19 PM To: swancom(a)list.swanlibraries.net Subject: Re: [SWANcom] Temporary Symphony/Enterprise outage this evening Symphony server maintenance has concluded.

Symphony GUTS training kicks off this week
by Kate Boyle 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

Everyone - Just a reminder about the Symphony "Guts" Training kicking off this week. Just what is Symphony GUTS, you may ask. Everyone in libraries loves acronyms GUTS - Greater Understanding of The System, perhaps. Or an explanation of the "guts" of the SWAN software? I prefer to think of it as an explanation of the "butterfly effect" - how what happens in this part of the software, effects the behavior in this part of the software. However, you prefer to think of it, we will be sharing our understanding of how the Symphony software works. Topics include: migration and mapping, Circulation configuration (Circ Map and Hold Map), Cataloging configuration (Item types, item categories, and locations), Enterprise (facets, searching, harvesting). Above all there will be an opportunity for you to ask questions. There are numerous opportunities to attend a session, including the opportunity to attend the online webinar on August 6th. Click on the links to register. Wednesday, July 29th 9:30 - Noon http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=20515 Thursday, July 30th 1:30 - 4:00 PM http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=20516 Monday, Aug 3rd 9:30 - Noon http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=20517 Tuesday, Aug 4th 1:30 - 4:00 PM http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=20518 Thursday, Aug 6th 9:30 - Noon Webinar http://www.librarylearning.info/events/?eventID=20519 There are still seats available - come and join us!
