Network Upgrade and Planned Power Outage

Starting Wednesday evening (September 28th), TSC will be performing service upgrades starting at 10 p.m. This upgrade will cause a campus wide network outage including access to the Internet for the duration of the upgrade process, anticipated to be from 10:00 p.m. to midnight (assuming all goes well).

Early Thursday morning (September 29th) Physical Plant will be cutting power to Centennial Hall and several other halls to replace a defective switch in the main electrical hall in Centennial Hall. The power outage is expected to go from midnight until 4 a.m.

These outages will effect all Library servers and services offered by these servers including the Library Catalogue (mercury/innopac) and Main Library Website and MyCybrary (cybrary), Reserves/EReserves (mercury/innopac), and Access to Subscription Journals/Databases via the Library Proxy (libproxy), InterLibrary Loans (openill), to name a few. Students and Faculty should plan workflow and access accordingly for the outage and allow for systems being unavailable for longer than planned/specified.
