[SWANcom] Auto-renewals announcement

+++Please route to appropriate personnel +++ Everyone- Auto-renewals is a custom report that automatically attempts the renewal of materials checked out at your library two days before they are due. This report, which will be run daily, checks to see if the item is eligible for renewal based upon two factors: the renewal limits set by the circulating/charging library whether there are any holds on the item/title. If renewal limits have been met or there are any holds on the item the renewal is declined. SWAN anticipates rolling out Auto-renewals as soon as Symphony has been upgraded to 3.5.2 . This is tentatively scheduled for the first week of May. Auto-renewals will be released as an opt-out report, in other words if you choose to have your library not participate, you need to notify SWAN of your decision. You can opt-out by opening a ticket at help@swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> by April 24th. Please note --If you choose to opt-out of auto-renewals, those items checked out by your patrons at other participating libraries may be renewed if they meet the above stated criteria. For all the specifics on this report, please view the attached documentation. If you should have any questions, please contact SWAN Member Services at help@swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net> or 844-SWAN-LIB. Have a great weekend.
