Sent on behalf of the SWAN ILS Committee
SWAN Member Libraries:
Here's your latest ILS Migration Bulletin!
On November 20th, we sent out a Request for Best and Final Offer (RBFO) to our vendors with a deadline of November 29th. The Best and Final Offer documents that were received have been uploaded to the SWAN site in a Member's Only section; login will be required in order to view them. All documents are of course confidential and should not be discussed outside of SWAN. The documents can be found here: http://support.swanlibraries.net/content/swan-rbfo
The ILS Committee met on December 11th to attend two vendor webinars, covering the topics of web-based staff client and a more in-depth overview of the resource sharing process, as requested in the RBFO document. This helped to answer some of the remaining questions that the Task Forces and SWAN members generated from the vendor demos in October. The vendor Power Point presentations can also be viewed in the link above, toward the bottom of the page.
Over the next month, the ILS Committee will be checking additional vendor references to obtain more information about how the software is being utilized in libraries around the world. Then, in January the ILS committee will be meeting for Round 2 scoring of our top vendors. This is currently scheduled for January 7th and 8th; it is hoped that at this time, the ILS Committee will complete their final scores and be able to bring a recommendation of ILS vendor to the SWAN Board at the following meeting.

Everyone -
Due to staff illness, the password changes that were scheduled to be completed first thing this morning were not changed until 9:05 AM. If you logged into Millennium before that time using the old passwords and you log out of Millennium at any time today, you will need to use the new passwords to log back into the system. Sorry for the delay in getting this done.
Have a great day and stay warm.
