UPDATE 3/16/12
All Library online services will be available until 8:00 a.m. on Monday, March 19, and only requests for books from the Library Retrieval System will be affected on Monday. Servers that support access to databases, full text electronic journal articles, the online catalog, Link+ and ILLiad will not be shutdown until 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 20. If the relocation of the servers goes smoothly as we expect it will, these services should be available again some time on Wednesday, March 21. But there is always a chance that something unexpected may happen so we cannot guarantee that all services will be restored on Wednesday.
