Hello, Scholastic databases are not working properly with the Open Athens proxy for off-site access. Scholastic and Open Athens are working to solve the issue. The problem is with Scholastic URLs. I've been working with both of these vendors to get the problem solved. I will keep you up to date on the progress via the Known Issue on the support site. https://support.swanlibraries.net/node/66976 Thank you, Robin Robin Hofstetter Consultant, Electronic Resources robin(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:robin@swanlibraries.net> * 630-326-7823 My pronouns: they/them/theirs SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>

SWAN Directors' and Administrators' Quarterly Meeting Agenda & Packet for 12/5 Posted

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Member Libraries, The December Quarterly agenda and packet for the meeting on Thursday, December 5th at 10 a.m. in now available to you. https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/19_12_05/6532… This is a large packet-- 180 pages! It has the report from the Clarity Task Force with our shared diagnosis related to our strategic plan objective 1. The packet also has the BLUEcloud Acquisitions Pilot report, which will be of interest to all SWAN libraries wondering what an official software pilot is like (hint: a lot of work!) and what tantalizing future we have with the new acquisitions system! Since it is the end of the year, I have included a written report on our strategic activities. Lastly, the SWAN Board will update everyone on the past few months research on converting SWAN to a 501(c)3 type not-for-profit. We have included several legal findings in the packet, which will be referenced at the meeting next week. We will live-stream the event for those that wish to join us online. The GoToMeeting URL is on the agenda. Have a great holiday! See you all next week, 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/>
