Service interruptions: WorldCat, databases, e-books, e-reference
Due to proxy server issues, we are currently experiencing difficulties in accessing many online resources, including WorldCat, databases, e-books, and e-reference sources. We have had varying levels of success using these resources since 5 PM yesterday–if you’re unable to use a resource on the first attempt, please try again later.
The library catalog link on the library homepage is not currently functioning due to these issues. However, you may access the catalog using the URL http://152.97.110.100/search~S27 in the meantime.
If you have any questions, you may call us at 423.461.8703. We apologize for the inconvenience. We will update the blog and our Twitter when full access has been restored.
