News from the SWANpond


Auto-renewal sticky notes available

If your library is participating in the auto-renewal of checked out materials, promote this great feature with a limited quantity of free sticky notes! These 3x3" sticky notes can be attached to any materials being checked out to patrons. Email Susan Ricker at susan@swanlibraries.net with your mailing address and we'll send you a few stacks while supplies last. If there is enough interest in these, we can order a larger quantity.

Upcoming Events


SWAN Enterprise: Quacking the Code, Presented by DUX
(Thursday, April 6 at 9:00 a.m. at Burr Ridge) This morning event will have different sessions and training opportunities to make you an Enterprise expert. Open to all while space is available; please register by March 31.

BlueCloud Analytics Classes
Beginning in April, the BlueCloud Analytics (BCA) class will be held every other week on Wednesday morning. Also, there is no longer a restriction of only one attendee per library per event. While work continues on developing an advanced class in BCA, we would like to suggest if you attended a BCA class in the Fall you might want to come again to  one that is being currently offered. The reports in BCA have grown by leaps and bounds since September and there is a wealth of reports to share with you. If you should have any questions or suggestions, don’t hesitate to contact one of the Member Services consultants (Samantha Dietel, Crystal Vela and Vickie Totton). To view a list of classes currently available, go to: http://www.librarylearning.info/tags/?BCA.
