OhioLINK is currently experiencing a major outage due to hardware failure. Most OhioLINK resources including the Electronic Journal Center, the E-Book Center and the Digital Media Center are either completely or partially unavailable at this time, meaning you may be able to get abstract information, but not full text. The OhioLINK Library Catalog, the OhioLINK Web site and OhioLINK’s e-mail system are all functioning normally. Most databases including EBSCO’s Academic Search Complete, ISI Web of Knowledge and Inspec are available. OhioLINK’s OSearch databases, which include America History & Life, Art Abstracts, Biological Abstracts and Applied Science & Technology Abstracts, are not available.
We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to fix the problem as soon as possible. We expect the affected resources will be unavailable for at least two to three hours and possibly much longer. We will post updates here as needed.
Update 2/5/09, 10:20 a.m.: We've made progress on our hardware issue, but a few things are still being fixed. Once that's done, staff will work to restore data and bring resources back up one by one. The OhioLINK Library Catalog has been unaffected by this outage. If you need articles or research NOW, please visit your library's Web site or use the EBSCO databases.
