Service interruption of The CAT June 20-21

Interruption scheduled for planned maintenance 

On Monday, June 20, and Tuesday, June 21, the Libraries will be migrating The CAT and WorkFlows to a new operating system (Linux). There will be a planned interruption of service.

Schedule of events and outages
Beginning at approximately 7:00 a.m. on June 20:

  • The CAT will be in READ ONLY mode.
  • Searching will be available in The CAT, but features such as My Library Account and I Want It will not be available.
  • Features within LionSearch that connect to The CAT will be unavailable.
  • EZBorrow will not be able to check the status of patron’s accounts or search our holdings.
  • Circulation features within Workflows will not be available for the first few hours Monday morning. Limited functionality will be available the remainder of the day on June 20.
  • Workflows functions other than circulation (e.g., Cataloging, Acquisitions, etc.) will not be available until mid-morning Tuesday, June 21.
  • Reports also will be delayed until Tuesday mid-morning.

Specific instructions will be issued to all circulation areas later this week.

All functionality should be restored no later than mid-morning Tuesday June 21.

This is a large, complex project and time estimates are subject to change as the work progresses. We will keep you posted throughout this process.
