Extensive server maintenance work

Our systems librarian, Leland Deeds, will be performing extensive maintenance on our catalog server this weekend.   He is very graciously planning this work for the Easter weekend when most of us will be busy with other things and not needing to access our online catalog.

Please be aware that the Library catalog will be offline Friday night and Saturday night at least.  Because Leland is going to be doing some backup operations that we have not done before, we can't predict exactly how long this work is going to take.  So we can't be more specific about precisely which hours will involve catalog downtime.

If you have trouble accessing the Library catalog at any point this weekend, please assume that maintenance is still going on.  We intend to have everything back in operation well before we reopen on Monday, April 1st.
