R2011 announcement and release notes (Upgrade Memo #2)

by Kate Boyle

+++ Please route to appropriate staff+++ Everyone - Please review the attached documents for information regarding the planned upgrade to SWAN scheduled for early next Wednesday morning, January 29th. We have added a message to the WebPAC to alert your early morning patrons to the planned downtime for the upgrade. We have also requested that Innovative add the same message to Encore. Any libraries using self-check workstations and/or an AMH (automated materials handler) should shutdown this hardware at closing on Tuesday night, January 28th and bring it back online after the upgrade is completed. We anticipate the upgrade being completed and access available to SWAN by 8 a.m., if all goes well. Please make certain that your morning Circulation staff are familiar with "Offline Circ" in case SWAN is not available on time. We will be announcing via a SWANcom and the SWAN website when you can begin to log in on Wednesday morning, January 29th. Thank you all for your cooperation in getting the installer downloads completed on time. Your timely assistance makes this project easier to bring to a successful completion.

Final Reminder **SWAN Member Library Action Required: Millennium Client Upgrade Memo #1**

by Steven Schlewitt

SWAN Member Libraries & IT Staff: Today is the final day to complete your Millennium R2011 Client installation and submit your Completion Report! The remainder of our week will be spent reconciling installation issues or missed installations, followed by the server cutover next Wednesday morning (January 29th). If your library has encountered issues and has been unable to complete the installation, please contact our helpdesk as soon as possible so that we can assist to resolve the issue. Otherwise, please ensure that your library has submitted the completion report, as this is how we will determine if your VPN connection can be restored following the upgrade next Wednesday. Has your library already completed the client installation and submitted the completion report? You can check at the following link... http://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2014-01-08/swan-member-library-action… Again, thank you for your patience and cooperation throughout the upgrade process.

YTDCIRC / LYRCIRC

by Mary Lou Coffman

Dear SWAN libraries It has come to my attention that the YTDCIRC / LYRCIRC move did NOT happen on the Report Server. I will re-run this move tonight beginning at 9 pm and it will take most of the night to complete. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused. Any reports run after 12-30-13, using YTD and LYR circ will not be accurate. The Production Server, however, is accurate. Thank You and again I apologize!

SWAN Retirement Announcement

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Member Libraries: Mary Lou Coffman has informed me that she will be retiring from SWAN on January 31st. Mary Lou began working at SWAN in 1994 within SWAN's Database Maintenance department and was a key contributor to the ILS migration from GEAC to Innovative Interface's INNOPAC. Over the years Mary Lou has utilized her extensive knowledge of catalog record data and other areas of the Millennium ILS accessible to custom reports. Mary Lou has been the "go-to" person for our member libraries that needed a better understanding of how data can better serve them, and has provided numerous workshops and one-on-one training over the years. She has focused on many projects over her tenure at SWAN, managing a wide variety of areas on behalf of the consortium, including the deployment of Millennium Patron Images and Digital Signatures. I am sure I might be forgetting something... she has done A LOT! Mary Lou will work with the Illinois State Board of Education, focusing on the area of serving children within the autism spectrum. Over the next several weeks Mary Lou will continue to coordinate our Release 2011 upgrade, among other projects. She and I will work to transition areas of our services she oversees. Please congratulate Mary Lou and wish her well. I have included her contact information below.
