by Kate Boyle 10 Sep '14

10 Sep '14

Please share with appropriate personnel Everyone- Attached is a reminder regarding the importance of every SWAN library and their role in the successful migration of SWAN to SirsiDynix. Just an update on some general information on training - We have over 1,800 staff members at our libraries to be trained in various aspects of the SirsiDynix software. All of these SWAN library staff members will have access to the online training component "Mentor" beginning in early November. Workshops throughout the membership on various modules will begin in February and continue through March. We will be announcing more specifics about training as dates and venues are firmed up. Realizing that weather could be a factor in February, training will also be delivered via webinars and YouTube tutorials. We will be using SWANcom as our main communication channel and will be announcing more migration information as it develops. Stay tuned.... If you should have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

by Kate Boyle 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Everyone - Attached is the Excel Spreadsheet for Direct Loans among SWAN libraries for FY 2014 (July 2013 - June 2014). At the far right hand column of the spreadsheet there is a column listing whether your library is a NB - net borrower or a NL- net lender. As in previous years the statistics running across the page are your library activity as a borrower. The columns running down the page reflect your activity as a lender. Enjoy.
