OhioLINK staff are still working to restore the Electronic Journal Center following a major hardware failure on Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately, the massive failure and the subsequent rebuilding of a controller wiped out some key directories for the EJC. The machine is up and running and you can search or browse the metadata, but the attached content (including abstracts and full text) is not available.
The missing directories have to be rebuilt, which is an arduous task. We don't know how long this will take, but will continue to post updates here as we know more.
Other OhioLINK resources are available and functioning normally, including the OhioLINK Library Catalog, the E-Book Center, the Digital Media Center and all databases. The OSearch databases--which include Art Full Text, Biological Abstracts, Compendex and Education Full Text--are available again, but the full-text articles in the EJC will not be available when you click the FindIt button.
If you need articles and research resources now, please visit our list of 140+ databases for links to quality resources including the EBSCO databases (Academic Search Complete, Business Source Complete, Education Research Complete, etc.), LexisNexis Academic, Oxford Reference Online, Safari Books Online and much more.
Update 11:00 a.m.: The E-Book Center has been restored.
Update 5:00 p.m.: The Electronic Theses and Dissertations Center is functioning normally again and full text theses and dissertations are available. However new submissions are not being accepted at this time.
Update 5:30 p.m.: The Digital Media Center has been fixed and the educational videos, art images, Sanborn Maps and other digital collections are available again.
