EBSCO databases unavailable


We are having trouble connecting to our Library databases that are supplied by the vendor known as EBSCO.  These include the ATLA Religion Database and ATLAS.

All databases from other vendors seem to be working fine.

Our Systems Librarian has contacted EBSCO and we are awaiting a response from them.  We apologize for this inconvenience!

And yes, it is ironic that this embarrassing failure took place just as we distributed our WSML Public Services User Survey.  I guess this is the kind of thing that will seem funny someday.

UPDATE : EBSCO has replied that they performed some "maintenance" on their systems this morning and as a result several of their customers have lost access.  They are reportedly "working on it" (!).
