~24 hour disruption in Libraries' catalog and IT services on 1/5

[Hurley, Belinda]

All,

OSU's OCIO has partnered with the State of Ohio and will be moving all equipment from its Kenny Road facility to the State of Ohio Computer Center.  As part of this migration, the OSU Libraries will be moving all of their servers and storage devices on Monday, January 5.  The move will entail the shutdown of most Libraries'  IT services starting at 7 am on 1/5.  We anticipate all services will be restored by 7 am on Tuesday, January 6.

Details for alternative access routes for this disruption can be found on this workaround page<u.osu.edu/hurley.50/workarounds> (the workaround page will remain active during the shutdown).

In short:

1.  The Libraries' catalog will be unavailable, however, most of our holdings can be searched using OhioLINK's catalog<http://olc1.ohiolink.edu/search/X>.

2.  Access to e-resources directly from publishers' sites will be available from campus IP addresses, however, access through the OSU catalog will be unavailable.

3.  Although databases such as Web of Science<http://www.webofknowledge.com/WOS> can be accessed directly through the publishers' sites, the "Find It" button/link that takes you to a desired article will not be functioning.  Therefore, you will need to manually navigate to desired articles at the publisher's site or use one of the workarounds suggested on the workaround page<u.osu.edu/hurley.50/workarounds>.

4.  Our proxy for off-campus access will be unavailable, however, many resources can be accessed from off campus using OhioLINK's proxy (see workaround page<u.osu.edu/hurley.50/workarounds> for details).

If you're on campus, you should be able to get to most e-resources through Google, Yahoo, etc.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns,

blh
