Library Catalog Upgrade Monday 6/11/2012

The catalog system will be upgraded starting at 7:30 PM Monday the 11th. While this will also mean our circulation system is down, we'll be closed so it shouldn't impact those services. Our online library catalog http://libcat.columbiabasin.edu/ will be entirely down for no longer than 1 hour. This will be followed by an extended period where the catalog may be slow or produce inaccurate search results. This should be resolved before 7:30 AM on Tuesday the 12th. This is necessary to provide enhanced functionality and to improve search results afterwards. If you have any questions please contact us library@columbiabasin.edu | 509-542-4890.
