SWAN Libraries,
Today the SWAN library directors voted unanimously to approve funds from the capital
reserves so that the SWAN Board can complete negotiations with SirsiDynix. In summary, the
vote was 52 in favor, 25 absent, 0 against, 0 abstain.
If you are want to see why this vote was unanimous, I have included the presentation from
today that covers proposal from SirsiDynix that all SWAN libraries will get once we
complete negotiations. This presentation goes over what SWAN will be getting, including
full e-book integration into our catalog, mobile circulation for library staff using
tablets, Facebook integration, a mobile app for your library, and much, much more!
We will be sending out a memo next week regarding the PLA Conference to provide guidance
to attendees on how to approach ILS vendor exhibitors. Since SWAN is still negotiating, it
will be important to make sure we all understand how to visit the booths and what can be
shared.
Thank you everyone that came to the meeting today,
Aaron
