On/Off-Campus Network Interruption Early Morning on Sunday April 2nd
From the Technology Solutions Centre...
Please be advised that MTS will be performing maintenance on our Internet connection on Sunday April 2nd between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. This means that there will be no connection from the campus to the Internet or vice/versa during that time.
Clients on campus will still be able to access campus services/resources, but will not be able to access the Internet. Mail sent during this period will be held in queue to be sent once internet access is restored.
Clients from off campus will not be able to access any campus resource/services, including email. Clients using UofW dial-up will not be able to connect to the Internet.
Unexpected Interruption on Monday to cybrary.uwinnipeg.ca
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by Monday night's interruption of service to the main Library Web Server (cybrary.uwinnipeg.ca). Despites efforts made to troubleshoot and correct the problem that started about 4:30 p.m., cybrary.uwinnipeg.ca was unavailable for much of the evening until approximately 1:00 a.m. on Tuesday. Especially at this time of the year, Cybrary is a critical gateway for all to the Library catalogue and many subscription databases and other Library resources, services, and tools/utilities. We've done our best to make the server available again and hope to keep it available 24x7 for the next couple weeks until we're well into exams, but may need to take it off-line at some point in the future if quick fixes and more maintenance is required. As much as you can, please plan your Library research accordingly and look here (cybrary.uwinnipeg.ca) for any posted messages about service interruptions as well as bookmark the Library News blog at http://blog.uwinnipeg.ca/InfoResources/ (which is filtered into the Cybrary home page) for any notices and alternative direction to resources should the cybrary.uwinnipeg.ca server become unavailable again.
