Disruption to the e-journals A-to-Z – in a good cause

July 2nd, 2012 by Paul Stainthorp

We are about to start work on re-building the e-journals A-to-Z website at the University of Lincoln.

As part of the Find it at Lincoln project, we are re-populating the A-to-Z with the most up-to-date information about our electronic journal holdings, and making sure that the Library has better processes for keeping it up to date in future.

This process will involve ‘wiping the slate clean’ before quickly repopulating the A-to-Z with as much accurate information about the University’s full-text journal holdings as possible.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused while this website re-building work is going on.

Access to e-journals and databases via the Portal e-Library page will be unaffected.

Please contact the Library if you have any questions or are unable to access the e-journal you need while this work is going on.

Library computer system upgrades complete

May 2nd, 2012 by cleach

The recent system upgrade activity in the Library has now almost completed. This process was neccessary both to make the library issue and catalogue system more robust and reliable over the next few years, and to address some potential hardware and security problems that had arisen.

Unfortunately, the need to deal with these matters  as soon as possible meant we had to undertake the work over the Easter period. We appreciate your patience during the upgrade process, and hope that it did not cause you too many problems.

More Library system downtime

April 11th, 2012 by cleach

We are upgrading our Library catalogue and circulation system overnight this week between Wednesday11th and Friday 13th April. The upgrade planned for last week was, unfortunately, unsuccessful for technical reasons.

This means that there will be no access to the Library catalogue during the upgrade from Wednesday afternoon, so searching, reservations and online renewals via the catalogue will not be available. Access to e-books will be only available through the E-library section of the Portal. Fine payments and account queries, telephone- and in-person renewals will also be unavailable until the sytem upgrade is complete.

It is hoped that the systems will be restored during Friday 13th April.
