NHU-PAC is fixed

As of 11:50 this morning Charlie was able to resolve the problem and all NHU-PAC functions should now be working as usual. If you do not find this to be the case please contact the NHAIS Help Desk at 271-2141.

NHU-PAC is down

As of 11:45(ish) this morning NHU-PAC has stopped returning search results in both ILL and NHU-PAC searching interfaces. The problem is being worked on and we will get things back up and running as soon as possible.

Server upgrade - at last!

I promised it and by gum, here it is. The two week warning about the server upgrade. Well, it’s almost August in the year 2008. The server upgrade that you have been hearing about is again scheduled for August 5 & 6. We’ve set two days aside for fixing the inevitable problems that MAY appear. On August 5, please do not expect to use NHU-PAC at all. There are many hands that are involved and they all have to work together.

August 6 is being billed as a clean-up day. If the system is up and functioning – use it. But, please be aware that availability may be interrupted while this or that switch is being changed, modified, or turned off.

Thank you for your patience and interest in this project. I hope the outcome will be invisible to out users once the system is stabilized and functioning properly.

Labelling Items for Van Delivery - A Reminder

Please remember to properly label your items which you are sending via the Van Delivery Service.

If you need a refresher on how items should be marked for the van, please refer to the Van Delivery Service - Instructions, http://www.nh.gov/nhsl/services/librarians/van_delivery/instructions.html, and scroll down to number 3 of the guidelines, "Addressing material to be sent on the van".

This will help ensure these items make it to the correct destination.

Thank you for your cooperation,
