Library Catalogue Service Outage – 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. today
Direct access to the Library Catalogue will be unavailable between 4:30 pm and 5:00 pm on July 12, 2017 due to a scheduled maintenance outage.
Access to our most frequently used resource search tools in the tabbed search box on the Library homepage are not affected by the outage.
Problems linking to resources from Library Search Tool
We are experiencing problems with the Search Tool on the library home page. After you search for an item, the links in the search results are generating a message saying: “The service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.”
The provider for this search tool is aware of the issue and is currently working to resolve it.
In the meantime, you can use the Library’s traditional catalogue to search for and link to electronic resources and catalogue items. You can also use the Journals by Title search tool or the Database by Title search to find and link to journals and databases.
System Upgrade is Completed – Users can login to their accounts
Thank you for patience. Our system upgrade has been completed and normal service has resumed.
