Improved catalog help for patrons
by Tara Wood 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Good morning member libraries, Check out the redesigned patron site<https://www.swanlibraries.net/>, which includes instructions for patrons on managing their accounts, searching the catalog, downloading eBooks, using Article Search, and more. When SWAN launched on Enterprise in 2015, we debuted a new site geared towards library patrons to help learn more about the new catalog. We took the step this year of changing this site to help new and existing patrons make the most out of the catalog and get help with common tasks. Learn more on the SWAN support site: https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2020-03/67424 SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>

SWAN Member Libraries, The March Quarterly agenda and packet for the meeting on Thursday, March 5th at 10 a.m. is now available to you. https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/20_03_05/6690… This meeting will include a vote to revise SWAN ByLaws. The revised version is included in the packet along with a memo outlining the requested changes.

And of course there will be a review of next year's SWAN budget and fees which we will seek your feedback on. The meeting will be live-streamed, but we encourage as many directors/administrators to attend in person. The remote attendance is noted at the bottom of the agenda. I hope everyone at PLA gets a chance to read this packet on their flight home! See you next week. Safe travels.
