Hi everyone,
There have been some inquiries about a misstatement on the cover letter of the annual FY2023 OCLC agreement from the Illinois State Library. You can disregard the incorrect sentence "[your library] will receive an invoice from PrairieCat that includes the FY2023 ILLINET/OCLC Group Services Membership Fee." Your library will not be invoiced for OCLC membership-it is included in your SWAN membership.
Please complete the agreement and return it per the Illinois State Library instructions. I will be updating the SWAN news post with updates if I receive any additional information.

Hello library directors & administrators,
The SWAN board election ballot was emailed to the individuals designated to vote on behalf of your library. Those emails were sent individually and directly from the Survey & Ballot Systems platform called myDirectVote.
If you require any assistance or need to have the login information sent to you directly, please contact me and I can work to resolve the issue with you.
The ballot will remain open through Sunday, May 29th end of the day.
