Library Catalog: Upgrade and unavailablity

Hi, everyone, (sorry for any duplicate message you may receive on this issue...)

The Library Catalog is being upgraded to provide a more user-friendly search interface for you!

The upgrade will start early Sunday morning and is expected to be finished by Tuesday or Wednesday, next week.

During the Upgrade:

* You may continue to search the catalog during the upgrade period, but you will be searching a "frozen" database ... the frozen data was captured June 7th.
* You will not be able to request or renew books online for a few days.
* If you need to check a book out or renew it, you will have to go to a library.
* If you returned a book sometime after June 7th, the Catalog will not reflect that until next Tuesday or Wednesday.
* Down time will be Sunday & Monday, but could extend into Tuesday & Wednesday.
* The ORR, journal databases, and access to electronic journals will continue to work as usual.

If you have any questions / concerns about this process, please let me know!

Katie
