IEEE Xplore down 11/10/07 - 8am-noon

Just in from IEEE:

"Dear IEEE online subscriber:

On Saturday, 10 November, IEEE will implement an upgrade to the IEEE Xplore digital library.

As a result, users will experience approximately 2-4 hours of downtime on that date, between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. EST. A message will be posted to the IEEE Xplore home page to alert your users to the planned downtime. Please encourage your users to take this into account when they plan their research.

This update includes the following features:
* Tabbed search results, including a beta test of Application Notes, practical content for working engineers
* Citation (Known Item) search, RefWorks/BibTeX citation download, and improved author search
* Subscriptions to IEEE Expert Now educational courses available through the IEEE Xplore platform

Thank you for subscribing to your IEEE online collection. We look forward to your response to these new tools and features and bringing you additional enhancements in the coming months."
