SWAN Member Libraries and Information Technology Staff:
This morning between 5:30 and 6am, we performed maintenance on our primary SonicWall firewalls that had resulted in some brief expected downtime.
Our systems are currently back online, but we recommend that you double-check some of your 3rd party hardware and services (such as self-checks, AMH, or e-commerce systems) to ensure the brief interruption did not cause a disconnect from the ILS.
Should you experience any issues at all this morning relating to your SWAN connection, please don't hesitate to email us at help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> or call 630.734.5153.
Thank you and happy holidays!

SWAN Member Libraries:
I am happy to announce the SWAN membership approval for two new libraries for the SWAN consortium. Last week SWAN directors approved the libraries to join.
Lansing and Franklin Park libraries currently use SirsiDynix as the ILS vendor, and both have been visited by many SWAN library staff over the last several months as part of individual library research in preparation for the consortium software migration to Symphony (and related solutions).
We expect each library to migrate and begin circulation in SWAN sometime in mid-2016, prior to summer.

SWAN Library Directors:
At the December Quarterly meeting, the SWAN Board presented a recommendation for approving the Franklin Park Public Library District and the Lansing Public Library. The addition of the two libraries would bring the total number of full membership libraries to 79. Both libraries are automated, and the migration and go-live for the two libraries would take place in 2016 (a year after SWAN's consortium-wide migration). For more information and to have your library cast its vote, please see the link below for information about these two libraries and the voting ballot.
https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2014-12-15/library-directors-approve…
Fifty-one libraries voting "affirmative" is required (2/3 of the membership) for approval of all new consortium member libraries. Please complete the vote by December 31.
