As SWAN staff complete the profiling process, we are continuing to plan the training program. In addition to instructor-led training, library staff will have access to SirsiDynix Mentor, an online learning portal. Through SirsiDynix Mentor, staff can take self-paced online training courses on Symphony, Enterprise, and other SirsiDynix products.
We will use the L2 directory to create training accounts for library staff members. Mentor will be a valuable training resource, and we want to be sure that all staff who will use Symphony or Enterprise have access. Please update your L2 account by August 22.
Individuals may create their own L2 accounts, or L2 accounts may be managed by a library director or their designee.
Administrators, please review your library's L2 accounts by August 22 and:
* Remove accounts for staff no longer with the library
* Create accounts for library staff not listed.
If you have questions about L2 account creation and maintenance, please refer to the RAILS documentation, available at https://www.railslibraries.info/l2help/account
