Catalog trouble.
You might have trouble accessing the catalog tomorrow. Here's an explanation from our library director as to why. Please ask us for help if you need to find something! Call us at x2225, stop by the office, or send us an email at reference@slc.edu.
"In August 2005, Congress passed an energy bill that included extending Daylight Saving Time by about a month. Beginning in 2007, DST will start the second Sunday of March and end on the first Sunday of November. As a consequence of this change, the system software for the server that runs our Voyager library catalog will have to be patched so that its internal clock changes on the appropriate date (March 11).
Unfortunately, Voyager will be unavailable for a minimum of one hour while the patch is being applied, and may actually be unavailable for the whole day. The date of the closure is dependent on the availability of the Voyager support engineers -- the most likely date is Friday March 2, with Monday March 5 and Friday March 9 as alternatives, all starting at 8am. We will let you know as soon as we have further information from Voyager support.
If you need help finding materials during the shutdown period, please consult a librarian, who will be pleased to assist you. Meanwhile, we apologize for any inconvenience caused by this unavoidable maintenance procedure."
