9/17: Possible Indexing Issues Due to Overnight Processing

by SWAN Communications

SWAN Member Library Staff: Please be aware, last night we encountered an abnormal ADUText report, which handles our daily record maintenance and processing. You may encounter record issues throughout the day until the next successful run of the ADUText report. To clarify, only item records (not patron records) should be affected. We've reached out to SirsiDynix with hopes to mitigate some of the record issues as soon as possible. If you come across errors with specific records, please email a list to help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> and we'll forward them to SirsiDynix for further investigation and temporary correction.
