OhioLINK: Saturday, 11/29

Don't forget, as previously reported, database access on Saturday, Novemer 29th, will be offline most of the day:

Just a reminder as everyone goes off for your Thanksgiving holiday, all of OhioLINK central systems will be offline on Saturday, November 29, from 7 a.m. to hopefully no later than 4 p.m. This includes the central web server, the EJC, the EBC, the Central Catalog, the DMC and DRC, ETD, and the OSearch Databases. If you have direct links to databases at vendor sites such as EBSCO or OCLC, you should still be able to access those sites. - Anita Cook, OhioLINK

Library Notices Go Green!

AU Library is joining the campus-wide effort to conserve resources and Go Green. Beginning December 1, the Library will send notices by e-mail only.

Here are four ways to keep track of what you have checked out of the Library:

1. Look for the due date stamped on each item you have checked out. If you renew an item, write the new due date on your date due slip.
2. Check your AU e-mail account for library notices. If you rely primarily on a different e-mail account, set your AU account to forward messages automatically.
3. Check your library record online! On the library web site choose “My Library Account” from Quick Links.
4. Call or visit the library and ask us to check your account. We are always happy to assist you renewing items and determining when they are due.
   

Knowing when materials are due is your responsibility. Thanks for helping us Go Green.

OhioLINK Service

If you are noticing issues with using the OhioLINK catalog and/or accessing the OhioLINK web site, please see the following:

"We are having problems with our SAN (storage array network) and it has caused two machines to go offline, the central web server and the MetaLib machine. We are assessing the problem and hope it will be fixed within the hour."
