*Action Required*: SWAN Library Hardware and Peripherals Survey

by Steven Schlewitt

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... SWAN Hardware and Peripherals Survey http://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/form157/index.html 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. You can check to see if your library has responded at the following link... https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2014-06-24/action-required-swan-hard… If you have any questions or comments about the survey, please feel free to reach out to me at the avenues listed below. Thank you for your feedback!
