To all library staff: The data load is largely complete. SWAN and SirsiDynix are working on resolving errors and finalizing configuration behind the scenes. Libraries have already started closing and upload offline data by logging into the production server. As your library closes, please remember to upload the offline files and report back using this form: https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/OfflineReport/index.html Once SWAN has received all of the offline files, SirsiDynix will begin processing them. They will process overnight. SWAN staff are available until at least 10 PM tonight. Please call 630-734-5153 or email help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> for assistance. Please watch SWANcom or support.swanlibraries.net for additional updates, and remember to wait for confirmation from SWAN tomorrow morning before attempting to circulate materials.

**REMINDER: Upload offline files today**

by Rebecca Malinowski

To all library staff: The data load is almost complete. All of the data has been loaded, and SirsiDynix is working on correcting expected errors and making some small adjustments. Today, SWAN and SirisDynix will finish configuration tasks, and do a backup of the system. **This evening, libraries will need to upload their offline files at closing. ** To upload offline files, each workstation that used offline mode will need to log into the Symphony production server. To so do, reopen WorkFlows and, on the configuration screen, uncheck the "Operate in Offline mode" box unchecked and verify that the server you are connecting to is at IP Address 10.120.131.25 or api.in.swanlibraries.net. Log in with your Workflows production logins (available to directors at https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/workflows-production-server-login…) Once logged in to Workflows, wait for a moment (our consultant suggests counting to ten), and then log out. This will need to be done on each computer that had any offline transactions. If, at your library, you access computers will multiple Windows logins, this process will need to done once under each login that used the computer. **When you have completed logging into production on each computer, please send a report to SWAN using this short form: ** https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/OfflineReport/index.html Offline documentation is available at https://support.swanlibraries.net/system/files/Members%20Only/SWANTech/Work…. Please direct non-urgent questions to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> and contact SWAN at 630-734-5153 with questions needing immediate assistance. SWAN will be available until 10 PM to assist libraries staff.

Encore OPAC / SWAN Catalog URLs

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Library Staff: Please be aware, the Encore discovery catalog (www.swanlibraries.net) has been disabled to prevent patron logins during our transition to the new SirsiDynix Symphony server. The swanlibraries.net website should now temporarily redirect to the Millennium classic catalog (catalog.swanlibraries.net) just for our days of offline. The Millennium classic catalog will remain accessible (excluding user logins) until go-live on April 14th. On April 14th, our new SirsiDynix Enterprise catalog will become available to all libraries and patrons at the catalog.swanlibraries.net address!
