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.

Subject: **SWAN Member Library Action Required: Millennium Client Upgrade Memo #1**
Importance: High
SWAN Member Libraries & Information Technology Staff:
Please see the linked memo "Millennium Upgrade Memo #1: Required Software Update", and route to your appropriate library and IT staff. This memo details your library's installation requirements for our upcoming Millennium R2011 server upgrade. Each library will need to update their SWAN clients and submit a Completion Survey by Monday, January 20th to ensure readiness for our server upgrade on the 29th. Failure to complete the client update and survey by the 29th will result in extended downtime, as your library will remain in an offline state until the client updates meet the required version.
http://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2014-01-06/swan-member-library-action…
If you have any questions/comments about the update, please submit a ticket to the SWANTech Queue of the SWAN ticket system or contact the SWAN Help Desk directly at 630-734-5153.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience.
