SWAN Member Libraries:
As noted in the April 8th Committee of the Whole meeting, the SWAN Board has been working on a number of modifications to the current SWAN Bylaws. The Bylaws Committee, chaired by board members Sheila Sosnicki and Pierre Gregoire, presented their suggested changes to the membership during the April 8th meeting.
In the link below, the proposed changes are provided to you in a red-lined copy of the Bylaws document, with an attached memo noting the changes. Also included in the memo is the proposed new timeline for the SWAN budget process. These suggested revisions will be voted upon by the SWAN membership at the June 5th Quarterly meeting.
Proposed changes:

Everyone -
Last week we asked Melrose Park Public Library to begin testing a new print template for a transit slip to be used with RAILS delivery. This label prints on the Restick printers and can be used for items being checked in to fill holds. While it works perfectly for those items being sent from the home library to fill a hold at another SWAN library, we are still a tweaking a few other scenarios.
Just wanted everyone to be aware that there is testing going on and you may see one of these labels as we continue to improve them. Have a good week.

Member Libraries-
Prairie Trails Library is without internet due to a line being knocked down outside their building. This is affecting their connection to SWAN.
We will give an update when it has been restored.

+++ Route to ILL personnel +++
I just wanted to remind all the SWAN libraries that use OCLC to request ILL materials and journal articles that the deadline to transition to the new WorldShare ILL software is fast approaching - May 19th.
Please see the OCLC website for more information and various training webinars. http://www.oclc.org/worldshare-ill.en.html
Have a good week.
