SWAN Member Libraries & Information Technology Staff:
Does your library currently utilize RFID in any capacity, or is your library interested in implementing RFID sometime in the future?
Over the years, SWAN libraries have shown an increasing interest in RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) as a method to improve inventory and circulation. Seeing as there are a variety of configurations offered by third party vendors, and several configurations already in place at select SWAN member libraries, SWAN is performing a survey and inventory of those configurations with hopes that we might assist other member libraries in deploying future RFID installations.
The RFID Survey can be found at the link below...
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3FWY7YS
All member libraries (RFID or not) are encouraged to participate in this survey, as we'd like to gauge your interest in the topic, and for existing implementations, how you've adopted the technology in your library.
If you have questions about the survey or would like to provide additional feedback, please contact me at the avenues listed below.
Thank you for your feedback!

Everyone -
Attached is a brief announcement for library staff regarding some of the SirsiDynix features we can anticipate enjoying in the future. SWAN Member Services is very excited about all the new features we will be rolling out to our members and your patrons over the coming year. The Member Services staff will be attending the COSUGI (Customers of SirsiDynix Users Group, Inc.) conference in two weeks and we will be bringing back lots of information to share with all of you. We can't wait to get started. If you should have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
