Catalog maintenance Friday night

Just want you to know that we’re going to run a full backup of the Library’s catalog tonight, 11 pm – 7 am tomorrow. We need to complete this task before the storm hits, in case there are power failures that cause data loss.

Because the Library will be closed anyway, we don’t think this will impact students working on ordination exams. The ATLA database and all other indexes, full-text e-journals and networked resources accessed remotely will all be unaffected – it will interrupt the Library catalog ONLY.

Of course, if there are power failures and the proxy server goes down, then students will lose access to the databases. But that won’t be caused by this maintenance work.
