Catalog scheduled maintenance

The library's catalog server (behind Aspen Discovery and the Aspen LiDA app) will be upgraded on September 27 between approximately 8:00 a.m. and noon. The catalog will be completely inaccessible part of the time, but as much as possible it will be in offline mode. The catalog is available here during offline mode, but account functions (like signing in and placing holds) will be unavailable.

Due to inclement weather, all Library locations will be closed on Friday, Sept. 27.

We should resume our regular schedule on Saturday.
