Catalog maintenance this weekend

Our Library catalog will be undergoing some scheduled maintenance on Friday and Saturday night this week, 24-26 August.

The catalog will be offline from Friday at 11:00 pm until about 7:00 am on Saturday.  Then, there will be another period from Saturday night at midnight until about 8:00 am Sunday. 

This work has been scheduled at a time when we hope it will have little impact on our users.

Lots of new equipment

While most people are off campus getting a little free time before the new academic year begins, our technology folks are very hard at work installing new computer equipment and systems.

There are new computers at the kiosk in the the Library Atrium, and four new machines in the Reference Room.  Twenty new machines are being installed in the Multimedia Classroom on the third floor, plus a new podium computer.  All of these need individual attention in order to configure them to accept our Library systems.

For now, you will discover some limitations on the new machines.  They may not yet print properly on our document server in the Microforms Room.  Some of them don't yet deliver BibleWorks 9 (an error in the software itself that we are waiting for the vendor to solve).  They may not have the right desktop icons or settings.

Please be patient while we correct all of these issues.  We hope to have everything operating well by the time Orientation for new students begins.
