Hello SWAN library directors & administrators—

The agenda and meeting packet for next week’s meeting Thursday, June 6^th at Oak Brook Public Library is now posted.

https://support.swanlibraries.net/meeting/94449

Our big discussion topic for Thursday will be the yet to be announced statewide contract for research databases. SWAN has learned the contact has been awarded to  EBSCO, but there are some differences with the statewide solution and our existing group-purchase for public libraries. We have a few options to present for SWAN libraries that are concerned about retaining a comprehensive database package, which would include Novelist Plus and Consumer Reports which are not in the statewide deal.

We will also present about public library website ADA complaints and how this relates to SWAN’s Aspen Discovery.

Hope to see you in person next week! If you need to attend via Zoom, please registration using the link below.
