OCLC fiscal year 2022 renewal agreement

by Aaron Skog

To Library Directors & Administrators- The FY22 Illinois State Library/OCLC group services agreements are being sent via email this year. We have learned there is a delay in emailing the agreements. Expect to see your renewal agreements within the next week. As in the past, individual libraries sign the agreement with OCLC and return it to the specified address. SWAN receives the combined invoice for payment. OCLC membership is included in your SWAN membership fees. If you receive an invoice from OCLC, please submit a help ticket with SWAN and attach that invoice. Do not pay the invoice directly.

Days Closed Calendar Review

by Vickie Totton

SWAN Member Library Staff: As libraries approach a return to "regular" hours we want to remind all SWAN libraries to review Days Closed Calendars. Make sure you have entered all scheduled holidays in your calendar including the major holidays. Having these dates in your calendar will ensure you do not have items checked out for those dates. Visit the Days Closed<https://support.swanlibraries.net/documentation/64717> documentation page on the SWAN Support Site for instructions to manage your calendar through WorkFlows. As always, if you would prefer SWAN to manage your calendar simply provide us with the dates you will be closed via help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>. SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 Email: help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> Phone: 844-SWANLIB (844-792-6542) https://support.swanlibraries.net<https://support.swanlibraries.net/>
