2023 User Group Interest Survey

SWAN is exploring interest in additional user groups for library members for 2023. SWAN user groups are member-led networking opportunities for you to share ideas and solutions.

Each user group requires a chair or co-chairs from member libraries. Chairs are responsible for soliciting discussion items from your group, preparing meeting agenda, and facilitating meetings. SWAN staff will help support any user group by offering Zoom scheduling, online forum topic, posting agenda, notes, and recordings.

Let us know what networking opportunities are needed amongst your SWAN library peers.
