One week left to vote in SWAN's Board Election
Has your library director voted yet in SWAN's Board Election? Two seats are open and it's up to each SWAN member library director to cast their vote in choosing the next qualified members for the Board. Administrators who are interested in running in this election have provided statements that explain their qualifications and their reasons for running for the SWAN Board.
Read the candidates' statements and cast your vote now by following this link: https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2017-05-01/board-election-51-519.
Each library may vote only one time. The deadline for casting your vote is Friday, May 19, 2017 at 5 p.m.

Did You Know
Your feedback is needed! The RAILS Overlay Software Search Working Group has scheduled demos from three vendors to explore software options for the potential overlay project, https://www.railslibraries.info/services/overlay-project, which aims to provide library users with seamless access to the online catalogs of consortia and standalone libraries that choose to participate. RAILS is calling it an overlay to emphasize that it will supplement, not replace, existing online catalogs. Primary goals are seamless discovery and delivery for patrons and better interlibrary loan service, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for libraries.
RAILS is asking all library staff and administrators to participate in these demos and provide feedback. Learn more and register using the L2 links below:
