OSU Libraries server maintenance 12/17-19

[Hurley, Belinda]

The OSU Libraries' Information Technology department has scheduled an upgrade of several library servers starting at 5 p.m. on Sunday, December 17, and continuing through end of day on Tuesday, December 19. This outage has been planned to take place after finals (December 14) and graduation (December 17) so as to cause minimal interruption of service. During that time, the OSU Libraries' Catalog and website along with several other services will be unavailable.

During this outage, on-campus users will be able to access most research databases (Web of Science<https://apps.webofknowledge.com/>, Scopus<http://www.scopus.com/home.url>, SciFinder<https://scifinder.cas.org/>, IEEE Xplore<http://www.ieee.org/ieeexplore> , etc.) by going directly to the publisher's site.  In most cases, on-campus users should be able to link to journal articles  directly from research databases. Additionally, most journals and ebooks will be accessible by going directly to the publisher's site.   OhioLINK<https://www.ohiolink.edu/>'s Electronic Journal Center will remain available.  WorldCat at OSU<https://osu.worldcat.org/> will remain available and can be used to perform catalog searches.

Off-campus proxy access will not be available during this downtime.

Best regards,
Belinda
