Everyone-
As you may be aware, William Leonard PLD, has temporarily closed its doors due to lack of funds. We have made their collection not holdable by other SWAN patrons. In addition, William Leonard patrons are blocked from placing holds online.
Unfortunately, we have no additional information for you other than they hope to re-open the library as soon as they receive their funds from the State (around September). Sorry, but I have no directive from William Leonard regarding patron whose cards expire in the interim. If you should have any questions, don't hesitate to call me.

SWAN Member Libraries and IT Staff:
With the contracts for our new ILS signed and the introductions completed, SWAN staff have started full speed ahead into the ILS migration project. Our first order of business is to inventory and catalog various aspects of our libraries to ensure a smooth transition later down the road. That being the case, we need your help!
In the upcoming months, SWAN will be seeking your input to accurately inventory your vendor hardware, services, and policies that integrate with the ILS. Similar to our Network Migration Project, SWAN staff will use this information to ensure our vendors are prepared for the ILS migration and that any specific configuration settings are set long before the go-live date.
Our first inquiry in this matter is in the form of the survey below...

Please provide responses as accurately as possible. To ensure timely responses, we request that one survey for each library is submitted by the deadline of Friday, July 18th, 2014.

SWAN Libraries-
Ever wish you could take a break from work and go shopping at the mall? Well now you can!!!
The SWAN Idea Mall<https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/members-only/1139> is open for business!!!
But we need your help in stocking our stores!!
The Idea Mall is designed to bring SWAN libraries together so they can share and develop new ideas for their libraries. You can find the Idea Mall here<https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/idea-mall-2>, or visit our website support.swanlibraries.net<http://support.swanlibraries.net/> and locate the Idea Mall in the orange menu bar.
We need to increase the inventory in our stores, so browse around our shops here<https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/idea-mall-2> and
get some ideas percolating on what your library would like to contribute!
Send in those ideas, pictures, pamphlets, documents, etc. via our helpdesk here<http://support.swanlibraries.net/otrs/customer.pl>
or email us at help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>
We are also creating a listing of SWAN library social media pages, please see our Social Media Outlet<https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/members-only/1115> and send us your information.
If you have an idea for a new store please let us know, we still have some vacant stores available in the mall.
Thank you for helping us get this off the ground, and happy shopping!!
