SWAN Member Libraries & Information Technology Staff:
Microsoft Windows 10 is here, and I know many IT administrators are excited to get it
installed and running at your local libraries; however, we ask that you exercise caution
when upgrading to the new platform, as it has not yet been fully tested and certified for
compatibility with our version of SirsiDynix WorkFlows or the Enterprise OPAC. That being
the case, abnormalities may arise, potentially in the areas of user permissions, Java
functionality, and printing. SWAN staff will begin testing the new Windows platform
alongside SirsiDynix as soon as possible and post any discovered issues to the "Known
Issues<https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/known-issues>" page on the
support site, but please know that until the platform is certified, we will be unable to
troubleshoot issues to the fullest extent.
The official statement regarding Windows 10 compatibility from SirsiDynix is as follows:
"With the release of Windows 10 from Microsoft this week, SirsiDynix is currently
working to ensure that all product applications and services are compatible with the OS
and its new browser, Microsoft Edge. Our first priority is to certify Windows 10 for
Enterprise, Portfolio, eResource Central, BLUEcloud PAC, e-Library, HIP, EOS.web, and
Social Library.
SirsiDynix recommends that sites not upgrade their staff workstations to Windows 10 until
it has been certified."
If you have any questions about WorkFlows compatibility or are running Windows 10 and have
an experience to share, please email the SWAN IT team at
it@swanlibraries.net<mailto:it@swanlibraries.net>.
Thank you,
