Server maintenance AGAIN

The Morton Library catalog and some other services will be offline for server maintenance this weekend, from about 11 pm Saturday till noon on Sunday.

In case you are wondering why this seems to happen so often, it's because we are compensating for the limitations of our server backup systems. A "cold" backup of the production server is needed periodically.

On this Thanksgiving weekend, let's be thankful for our wonderful systems librarian, Leland Deeds, who gives up his own holiday time to supervise this process. He intentionally schedules this work for times that will have a low impact on our users, but that means some pretty ugly hours for him. We owe him our gratitude!
