Member Libraries: Just a quick reminder. Normally the SWAN Committee of the Whole meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month, but for October we did not schedule one for 2014 due to conflict with ILA. BUT we will host one November 11th in RAILS Burr Ridge at 9:30am.

Action Required - Online Resource List due October 17

by Rebecca Malinowski

To the member libraries: SWAN staff will begin configuring each library's Enterprise installations in October. Enterprise online catalog we'll be using with SirsiDynix Symphony starting in April. Due to the customization options in Enterprise, we will need to collect information from your library for various aspects of the configuration. First, we are requesting information on your library's online databases and streaming/downloadable media offerings. This information will assist us in setting up EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) and eResource Central (eRc). EDS will allow allows users to search database holdings directly in Enterprise, and eRc will integrate ebooks and other downloadable media. Please complete the attached Excel workbook (LibraryResourceList.xlsx) by October 17th. This document should be completed by the person responsible for maintaining your library's online resources. We have prepared a guide to completing the workbook (ResourceListInstructions.pdf), and are happy to answer any additional questions you have. Please contact us at MigrationHelp(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:MigrationHelp@swanlibraries.net> with your questions. When you have completed the attached workbook, please upload it directly to the SWAN website. You will need to be logged in to access the page. https://support.swanlibraries.net/node/add/database-info Thank you.

SWAN Circ Advisory election update

by Kate Boyle

Everyone - Yesterday an announcement for the Election of SWAN Circ Advisory Committee members was sent out on SWANcom. Inadvertently, the SWANcom stated that Library Administrators should cast the ballot for this election. That statement was in error. As always, the Circulation Manager/Supervisor is the person we ask to cast the ballot for each library. The reason being that Circulation Managers are familiar with the various candidates and have worked with these individuals for years in most cases. For any Library Director that took the time yesterday to vote for the Committee we appreciate your time in participating in the process. If you have a Circulation Supervisor/ Manager, please ask them to cast a ballot. Once again sorry for the mistake. The poll can now be found online at http://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/form167/index.html. The deadline for casting your vote is Friday, October 17th at noon.

Report server stats

by Edlyn LeFevour

The report server stats were all run, but on the report server, not the production machine. Some of you may have been lucky enough to get your reports yesterday, but today they are not there. I will run them all again on Monday on the correct server and they will be ready for pickup on Tuesday. I apologize for my error and any inconvenience to our member libraries.

Monthly Statistics

by Kate Boyle

++ Please route to appropriate personnel ++ Normally, SWAN staff would be working on the production of your monthly statistics today. However, SWAN staff are involved in SirsiDynix System Administration training for the rest of the week and through Wednesday of next week. Staff will work on statistics when they have a break in training, but in general you can expect your stats to be delayed. Hopefully, we can have them done by Tuesday morning. Feel free to log into the report server each day before then to see if your reports are done. If you have an early deadline to get your statistics to your board, please email Edlyn at Edlyn.lefevour(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:Edlyn.lefevour@railslibraries.info> and she can expedite the compiling of your reports. Thank you for your understanding.
