Re: SWAN Quarterly Meeting 9/2/21 agenda & packet now posted

by SWAN Communications

Hello SWAN library directors & administrators- The DirectVote emails were just sent out. Please look for the email subject "SWAN Quarterly Meeting login information below - Do Not Forward" for the information to vote at the Thursday, September 2nd meeting at 10 a.m. this week. If you are unable to attend and wish to have a voting designee, please contact me directly. I would be able to add the designee individually to the voting system. I am including the meeting information again to this email. The detailed explanation is below. https://support.swanlibraries.net/meeting/82153 Aaron Skog Executive Director aaron(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:aaron@swanlibraries.net> * 630-326-7022 My pronouns: he/him/his SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/> From: Aaron Skog Sent: Friday, August 27, 2021 12:59 PM To: swancom(a)list.swanlibraries.net Subject: SWAN Quarterly Meeting 9/2/21 agenda & packet now posted Hello SWAN library directors & administrators- The agenda and packet for next week's meeting on Thursday, September 2nd is now available. This meeting will be held virtually. We originally did plan to meet in person but based on the pandemic in our region it makes sense to continue to utilize our ability to meet online. To that end, we will be using a new system for online voting. The meeting next week does include a presentation of a requested consulting expense as recommended by the SWAN Board, and we will bring a budget amendment forward for approval. The expense is outlined in the meeting packet and there will be a presentation and discussion. Here is the meeting link where the packet is posted on SWAN Support's Meetings & Documents page: https://support.swanlibraries.net/meeting/82153 Instructions on how the online voting process works is included in the packet. The vote will take place at the meeting, and it is interactive as well as secure. No one will be able to vote unless they have their individual login and URL. I will be sending out the individual voting logins on Monday next week. We will have an overview and practice vote at the start of the meeting. I hope everyone is doing well, and I look forward to seeing you online next week.

Weeklies 2022

by SWAN Communications

Please see our news article on the 2022 Weeklies<https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2021-08/87626> serial records. The Weeklies 2022<https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/64639> list has been posted to the support site. The serial controls can be transferred to the new records once 2021 issues are no longer expected. See Transferring a Control Record<https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/66563>. Quick reminders: * Weeklies use Chronology only, except for the academic journals JAMA and The New England Journal of Medicine. * Do not attach the Consumer Reports Buying Guide to the Consumer Reports serial record. The Buying Guide gets a new monographic record every year. * Do not attach Crain's Book of Lists to Crain's Chicago Business serial record. Crain's Book of Lists also gets a new monographic record every year. As soon as Consumer Reports Buying Guide 2022 and Crain's Book of Lists 2022 are available, we will add the records. If you have any questions, please contact Bibliographic Services.
