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.
