Hello SWAN Members,
The Westmont Public Library has begun their renovation. During this time various collections will be unavailable, in order to avoid any delays in filling holds their entire collection is now non-holdable. They anticipate the renovation to continue through October 25, 2019. We will send another SWANcom once they notify us they have completed their project and their collection is once again holdable.

Lastly, at the meeting we mentioned some completed usability studies with library patrons, which have touched on hold queue displays. Those studies began with SWAN working with the company Merge Design + Interactive in 2017, which we have continued on our own within the SWAN User Experience department and our Discovery & User Experience Advisory Group (DUX) for 2018-2019. The 3-part Merge study of Enterprise, along with our own studies are available here:
