Subject: [SWANcom] SWAN BookMyne for iOS and Android
SWAN Member Libraries & Information Technology Staff:
As you may have been aware, SWAN patrons and staff alike have been struggling with intermittent connection issues with the SirsiDynix BookMyne mobile catalog app for several weeks now. This week, SWAN staff made significant progress in resolving issues with BookMyne, and we’re happy to announce that the app now works consistently on both iOS and Android devices without significant issues. Patrons can now add their local libraries, access their library account, perform searches, and place holds on the SWAN catalog from any network, anywhere, as expected.
While the BookMyne app is certainly not as robust as the Enterprise OPAC, it can be suggested as an alternative to patrons that continue to experience issues accessing the Enterprise catalog from their tablets and phones. That being the case, SWAN will also be releasing a brief Quick Start guide for BookMyne that will cover the essentials of using the app, which can be shared with patrons. Watch for that documentation to be announced via SWANcom in the upcoming days.
As always, we greatly appreciate your patience as we work to resolve these issues.
Thank you, and have a great weekend!
