Hello SWAN Libraries-
I wanted to let everyone know officially that the proposal to move forward with MessageBee was approved at the December Quarterly membership meeting. The announcement can be found on the news post below on the SWAN Support site.

SWAN Member Library Staff,
SWAN created BLUEcloud Analytics accounts for each member library to help manage subscriptions, reports, and collaboration in your library. We asked library staff using a personal account to add saved reports and subscriptions to the shared library account. The deadline for this is December 31, 2022; all personal logins will be removed after that date.
The Sunsetting BLUEcloud Analytics Personal Accounts<https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2022-10/91885> news article on the SWAN support site includes instructions for saving accounts and subscriptions and a list of Office Hours to attend.

Hello SWAN library directors & administrators-
The agenda and packet for Thursday's SWAN Quarterly meeting is posted. This meeting will be held in person at Oak Brook Public Library at 10 a.m.
https://support.swanlibraries.net/meeting/88737
The approval of the MessageBee service for all SWAN libraries will be completed through a vote to amend the SWAN budget. This vote will take place in person via roll call at the meeting, with 2/3 affirmative votes of those present at the meeting required for passage of the revised budget.
The meeting will include a live streaming via Zoom, and access is provided on the meeting webpage above, as well as on the agenda. The Zoom will include chat for questions, but the meeting action items will be conducted by those in person.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Baker & Taylor reported yesterday evening that services have been fully restored. This includes TitleSource360. We have followed up by restoring all SIP2, Z39.50, and EDI access to Baker & Taylor services. All operations related to Baker & Taylor can resume.
Patrons are still unable to access Axis360 materials through Aspen and the BLUEcloud Mobile app. We are will send further updates as these services are restored.
You may continue to monitor this situation on this Known Issue:
