This Saturday, February 28th, access to library resources will be temporarily unavailable for a period between 6:00 pm and 4:00 am. Starting around midnight, several other systems including e-mail will also experience intermittent outages.
Information Technology is engaged in ongoing efforts to create a disaster recovery infrastructure for the campus network. In order to ensure that the recovery system is working properly, IT will need to temporarily shut down several campus systems this weekend, including Blackboard, Banner, Citrix, and Sharepoint. The library’s proxy server, which allows access to our resources from off campus, will be one of the systems affected by this temporary network downtime.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause. If you have any questions about this process, you can contact the IT Help Desk.
