Indexes & text collections out, 8/21/07

This just in from University of Michigan, which hosts a number of our databases and text collections:

"At approximately 8:00am EDT on Tuesday, August 21, we were informed by campus network administrators that intermittent sluggish network performance and losses of connectivity are being observed between campus and arbitrary internet sites. These problems may be affecting connectivity to resources hosted here. As before, these problems are external to the UM network.

Affected sites and collections include, but are not limited to:

* ACLS Humanities E-Book Project
* American Verse Project
* Bibliography of Asian Studies (BAS)
* British Women Romantic Poets
