Database Access Disruption
Wednesday, April 1
The library's proxy server - which provides access to the journal databases - will go down for maintenance sometime today. Access to the databases via the library's website & the WebPortal will be affected.
Unfortunately, we do not have a specific time for this maintenance shutdown, nor the length of time it will take.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Please note, this is not an April Fool's joke.
