SWAN Library Staff:
During today's Stress Test, please note that your personal data, holds, and current checkouts will likely be inaccurate, as the data is not current.
The Enterprise OPAC is accessing data that was extracted from our system back in early December, so your account may show items checked out or fees that are no longer valid.
If you encounter an issue with a blocked account and are unable to place items on hold, you may skip that part of the test.
If there are any further questions, please email it(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:it@swanlibraries.net> or contact Steven Schlewitt or me directly.
Thank you for your participation,

SWAN Library Staff:
This morning, we experienced a brief period of slowness on the SWAN 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 and have a great weekend!

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 Directors and Administrators,
As noted at today's Committee of the Whole meeting and in Migration Memo #5, today we have mailed to you a packet containing all necessary components to enroll with SirsiDynix BLUECloud Commerce and ProPay.
The due date for completion and return of this application is Monday, February 23rd by 5pm CST.
This packet contains an introduction letter with instructions on how to complete the enclosed application, including the statistics specific to your library that you will need. It also includes a pre-addressed, stamped envelope for return of this application to SWAN. We will not be opening the applications but sending them directly on for processing. However, we need to tally the receipt of these applications to ensure 100% compliance.
For more information, please refer to Migration Memo#5, located here:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/system/files/Members%20Only/Migration%20M…
If you have any additional questions, feel free to email Aaron or I.
Thank you!
