Illinois-based SWAN (System Wide Automation Network) has signed a 5-year agreement with SirsiDynix, selecting the Symphony integrated library system, the Enterprise discovery tool, and the eResource Central digital content management tool as the best fits for its 77 member libraries. SWAN's Enterprise implementation will also feature SirsiDynix's new, robust integration with EBSCO’s EDS platform for the SWAN member libraries.
Following an extensive assessment and selection process, SirsiDynix's library products and services emerged as the best choice for SWAN's mission to provide a state-of-the-art solution to streamline library operations and provide an intuitive and sophisticated user experience. SWAN's decision to migrate to SirsiDynix heralds a new era of partnership as both organisations work to expand the content, services, and technology they provide to a large and diverse user population.
SWAN is a membership organization created by suburban Chicago libraries to house their collections and data in a shared, collaborative environment. SWAN manages a unified catalogue of over 8 million items and over 1.1 million registered users, making it one of the largest and most sophisticated library consortium in the country.
