by Rebecca Malinowski

Thank you to everyone who has verified their own account or cleaned up library staff accounts. If you haven't already, please remember to verify your L2 account and, if applicable, your staff's L2 accounts by Friday, August 22nd. Every staff member that should have access to SirsiDynix Mentor, an online learning system we will use during migration training, should have an L2 account by the end of business on Friday. We will use the L2 account information to create logins for SirsiDynix Mentor. To verify that you have an account, sign in at: http://www.librarylearning.info/user/login.aspx You can also recover a missing password or create a new account using the same link. RAILS has provided help files on creating accounts: For directors: https://www.railslibraries.info/sites/default/files/l2addstaffnew.pdf For individuals: https://www.railslibraries.info/sites/default/files/l2createaccountnew.pdf Thank you again for taking quick action.

Moratorium on Specific Service Requests

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Member Libraries: Last week I met with attendees at the Committee of the Whole meeting and the SWAN Board on Friday. At both meetings I outlined some steps SWAN need to take in order to accommodate our migration to new ILS software. Reasons for this moratorium are practical and strategic. First, as SWAN staff prepares the data for migration, we must deal with a set group of data that is as "fixed" as possible so that we can accurately target the new home for it in Symphony. Second, the preparation and amount of time our staff has dedicated to setting up Symphony is taking away time we usually dedicate to service requests from member libraries. Please review the attached memo as it pertains to services and change requests for Millennium Location Codes, Loan Rules, etc. If you have questions, please contact me directly.
