*Action Required* Network Changes Memo #9: IP Migration Readiness

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Libraries & Information Technology Staff: Please see the linked memo "Network Changes Memo #9: IP Migration Readiness", and route to your appropriate library and IT staff. This memo details a simple test that needs to be performed at your library to ensure preparation for our upcoming IP migration. This check must be completed successfully by Monday, March 24th. Since this check may require IT assistance in some cases, we strongly recommend performing the check sooner than later. http://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2014-03-07/action-required-network-mi… If you have any questions/comments about the upcoming migration, or should you encounter any issues while performing the network check, please submit a ticket to the SWANTech Queue of the SWAN ticket system or contact the SWAN Help Desk directly at 630-734-5153. Thank you again for your cooperation and patience throughout the SWAN Network Migration Project.

SWAN Quarterly Presentation & Membership Approval

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Libraries, Today the SWAN library directors voted unanimously to approve funds from the capital reserves so that the SWAN Board can complete negotiations with SirsiDynix. In summary, the vote was 52 in favor, 25 absent, 0 against, 0 abstain. If you are want to see why this vote was unanimous, I have included the presentation from today that covers proposal from SirsiDynix that all SWAN libraries will get once we complete negotiations. This presentation goes over what SWAN will be getting, including full e-book integration into our catalog, mobile circulation for library staff using tablets, Facebook integration, a mobile app for your library, and much, much more! We will be sending out a memo next week regarding the PLA Conference to provide guidance to attendees on how to approach ILS vendor exhibitors. Since SWAN is still negotiating, it will be important to make sure we all understand how to visit the booths and what can be shared. Thank you everyone that came to the meeting today, Aaron Aaron Skog SWAN Executive Director 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5122 Fax: 630.734.5056 aaron.skog(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:aaron.skog@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net
