Just a reminder that some of the SWAN staff are taking advantage of the close proximity of the SirsiDynix conference in Detroit to attend the meeting. The following staff will be attending CONSUGI from Wednesday morning until Saturday evening: Aaron Skog, Karen Bar, Kate Boyle, Renee Clanton, Samantha Dietel, Dave Pacin, and Steven Schlewitt.
Please rest assured that there are SWAN staff available at Burr Ridge (from 7:30 AM - 9:00 PM) to answer any of your support questions and concerns at the usual support phone # 630-734-5153. And of course, SWAN staff and Versatile will be replying to your emails and any support tickets.
For those of you attending CONSUGI, we hope to see you at the First Time Attendees breakfast. If you are attending the conference, you should have received an invitation to this breakfast after you registered. Looking forward to seeing some of you there.

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!
