Library Catalog (Classic) down, 8/8/09-8/9/09

Fondren Library will be performing maintenance on our catalog server.

The catalog, via the 'classic' interface, will be unavailable from 6pm, Saturday, August 8, 2009 through 6pm, Sunday, August 9, 2009.

During this time, you will have access to the new library catalog search interface, One Search, at http://search.library.rice.edu

Ejournal Portal, Search.library.rice.edu, OpenUrl & Ulrichs down, 7/31/09

Just in from our vendor, SerialsSolutions:

Due to system maintenance, several library resources will be unavailable from 8:00pm 7/31/09 (Fri) through 2:00am 8/1/09 (Sat). These include:

* the library's Ejournal Portal
* the library's OpenURL resolver - this powers the "Fulltext@Fondren" links you see in many library databases, and which link you to the proper fulltext article at a publisher
* the library's search.library.rice.edu - searching of the library catalog will be available (we think!) but the search will not simultaneously access the article databases
* Ulrichs Serials Directory

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

ArtStor maintenance, 7/25/09

Please be advised, ARTstor will be performing temporary maintenance on Saturday evening, July 25, 2009 between the hours of 11:00pm and midnight. At this time, service will be temporarily suspended. We anticipate service to return after approximately 20 – 30 minutes.
