SWAN Self-Check Software Group Purchase
by Steven Schlewitt 14 Oct '14

14 Oct '14

SWAN Library Administrators and Information Technology Staff: Just a quick reminder - SWAN is currently coordinating a group purchase with EnvisionWare for the One-Stop 2.0 self-checkout software. This software can be used to replace an existing Innovative Express Lane installation prior to our SirsiDynix migration, OR, if your library does not currently have any self-check software or if you're thinking about upgrading from your current configuration, this is a terrific opportunity to join in on the significantly discounted pricing. We already have a handful of libraries participating, but as more libraries join in, we will see even greater discounts for the entire group. Please contact me directly if you would like additional information about the group purchase or if you're interested in participating. We're looking to collect responses from interested libraries by early November so that we can roll out the software as soon as possible. Thank you, Steven Schlewitt SWAN IT Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5130 Fax: 630.734.5056 steven.schlewitt(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:steven.schlewitt@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net

by Rebecca Malinowski 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

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.
