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.

SWAN Libraries,
The SWAN 12/4 Quarterly meeting presentation slides are posted for you. Included in this presentation is the Pick Up Anywhere choices made by SWAN libraries, plus lots of information on the migration underway.
Direct link to the PowerPoint:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/2014-12-04/SW…
If that link doesn't work, look for the 12/4 Quarterly meeting:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/gov/meetings
The Quarterly meeting was streamed and recorded directly in our YouTube account. If you want to catch up on the meeting and discussion about BLUEcloud Commerce and how it fits into the migration plans, make sure to watch using our embedded video on this webpage.
https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2014-12-09/swan-december-quarterly-l…
Next Steps for BLUEcloud Commerce:
* The SWAN Board will review the recommendation presented at the Quarterly meeting and make a final determination at its 12/19 meeting
* SWAN staff will coordinate an easy-to-adopt means for all the libraries filling out the ProPay paperwork once the Board has voted on the recommendation
* I am creating a document for all SWAN libraries which will show the transaction counts and transaction average by each library for the fiscal year 2014 (July 2013 - June 2014), which will assist us with determining what ProPay costs might be per library
We will update you on the decision and share everything you need to know on this Members Only (login and password required) webpage dedicated to SWAN e-commerce options for libraries.
