SWAN Library Staff:
This morning, we experienced a brief period of slowness on the SWAN Millennium catalog due to a runaway system process on the server. The issue has since been resolved and it appears the catalog is now functioning as expected. We will continue to monitor the situation throughout the day, but feel free to contact us at help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> or call our support line at 630.734.5153 should you experience any issues that appear to be related.
Thank you,
