BGSU University Libraries News

In order to install new enhancements, ProQuest has planned a 12-hour maintenance window for this weekend. This will cause several of the library’s ProQuest and CSA databases to be unavailable from 10:00pm Saturday, June 27 to 10:00am Sunday, June 28. The following databases are affected:
* Criminal Justice Periodicals Index
* Dissertation Abstracts
* Ethnic NewsWatch
* GenderWatch
* Linguistics & Language Behavior Abstracts
* New York Times Historical
* Physical Education Index

UPDATE: All identified non-working links were fixed as of 6 am Thursday morning.

The links for many of the library website pages and resources are not working. Campus ITS is working on the problem and they hope to resolve it as quickly as possible. We apologize greatly for the inconvenience.

The Library A-Z Index is still working at 2:03 pm

On Wednesday, June 10, from 2 a.m. through 6 a.m., due to scheduled BGSU network maintenance, all access to the research databases and OhioLINK requesting will be unavailable. Off-campus access to the library catalog, local requesting and other library internet resources such as ILLiad, E-Res, etc. will also be unavailable, although those resources will be available to on-campus users. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The OhioLINK Library Catalog will be unavailable while planned maintenance is performed beginning at 11 p.m. on Thursday, May 28, until approximately 1:00 a.m. on May 29. During this time you will not be able to search the catalog or request items. The Electronic Journal Center will also be unavailable for maintenance from 12:00 a.m. until approximately 1:00 a.m. on Friday, May 29. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Library Login becomes easier on May 11th

BGSU Students, Faculty, and Staff will need only their BGSU username and password to log in for remote access to the research databases, OhioLINK and local requesting, and My Library Account starting today, Monday, 5/11/09. The BGSU username and password is the same one used for logging in to MyBGSU, campus email, and BGSU lab and library computers. Look for more information and instructions on the relevant log in screens.

In conjunction with the University Libraries change in login procedures, OhioLINK requesting will not be available from about 6 am until 10 am on Monday morning, May 11. The other online library services such as My Library Account, local requesting, and remote authentication to research databases may experience brief disruptions from 6 am to 8 am. We are changing our procedures to make gaining access to library resources easier — BGSU students, faculty, and staff will need only their BGSU username and password to log in (same as is used for campus email and MyBGSU). Look for more information on the relevant log in screens on May 11. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to have full services restored as soon as possible.

OhioLINK apologizes for the short notice, but the Central Catalog will be down starting at around 11 p.m. tonight (Monday, April 27th) for approximately 1 hour for some maintenance. No other services should be affected. We apologize for any inconvenience.
