SWAN Marketing Materials: Press Release Template and Elevator Speech

by Brande Redfield

Hello Member Libraries, We have two new marketing tools available for you, created via collaboration through the SWAN PR & Marketing Committee. These docs are attached to the email in Word format. If you'd prefer a different format, just email me and I can convert them. Elevator Speech: This is a concise way to capture what this migration means to SWAN and our membership. Imagine being asked to describe the migration quickly, while being stuck in an elevator with someone who has asked you. This tool is helpful to share with all staff, so that they can familiarize themselves with the basics of the migration and better communicate it quickly and efficiently to patrons that ask. Press Release Template: This is a draft copy of a sample press release, and can be used for community flyers, local newspapers, or wherever else you see fit. This can get you started and be adapted by your own PR team, or be used as is (just substitute in your own library name where indicated) to let your communities know a bit more about what to expect in the coming months (and generate excitement)! We hope that you find these tools useful as a starter. We will be following up next week with our first edition of our PR newsletter (for staff), and in a few weeks with our first patron bookmark. As always, we welcome any suggestions, comments, or questions about SWAN marketing! Thank you, Brande Redfield SWAN Office Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5164 Fax: 630.734.5056 brande.redfield(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:brande.redfield@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

Issues with Millennium indexing

by Karen Bar

There have been issues reported with ISN, call number and keyword searching. A high priority ticket has been opened with Innovative. It has been noted by at least one library that this is apparently affecting Quick Click ordering by creating duplicate records. We will share more information as it becomes available.

YTDCirc/LYRCirc

by Renee Clanton

Please route to appropriate staff. As we have done in previous years, the YTDCirc and LYRCirc fields in the item records will be updated this Friday, January 2, 2015. The YTDCirc count will be moved to the LYRCirc field and the YTDCirc field will be reset to 0. The LYRCirc is not a running total but is a reflection of the 2014 circulation for that item. Please contact me with any questions you may have.
