SWAN Member Libraries:

Last week I met with attendees at the Committee of the Whole meeting and the SWAN Board on Friday. At both meetings I outlined some steps SWAN need to take in order to accommodate our migration to new ILS software.

Reasons for this moratorium are practical and strategic. First, as SWAN staff prepares the data for migration, we must deal with a set group of data that is as “fixed” as possible so that we can accurately target the new home for it in Symphony. Second, the preparation and amount of time our staff has dedicated to setting up Symphony is taking away time we usually dedicate to service requests from member libraries.

Please review the attached memo as it pertains to services and change requests for Millennium Location Codes, Loan Rules, etc.

If you have questions, please contact me directly.
