AUBIECat Going Down for Upgrade
July 18, 2005
The AU Libraries online catalog, AUBIECat, will be undergoing a software upgrade on Saturday and Sunday, July 23-24. The upgrade is scheduled to finish by Monday, July 25.
There will be no access to the AUBIECat catalog until the upgrade is complete. Access to your patron account information will be restricted as well (no on-line renewals). If you need assistance, please call the AU Libraries Reference Desk at (334) 844-1737; you can also call the the Veterinary Medical Library at (334) 844-1749 or the Library of Architecture, Design and Construction at (334) 844-1751 for information about those libraries' collections, services, and hours. AUBIECat should be available again on Monday, July 25.
Access to articles and databases will still be available.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this upgrade phase. Please feel free to contact AU Libraries Systems personnel, Jon Bell (belltho@auburn.edu) or Denise Baker (cosbyhd@auburn.edu), if you have questions or concerns.
Possible network interruptions: 7-8 am Tuesday 22 February 2005
February 21, 2005
Telecom will be installing new switches in the library starting at 7 am in the morning (Tuesday, 02-22-2005). The process is expected to be complete by 8 am.
What does this mean? There will be interruptions in network connectivity for parts of the first floor of the library during this time. Unfortunately, the library servers (AubieCat, Spot/Ezproxy, www.lib, tigger/contentdm, diglib, etc) will have interuptions in their connection to the internet at times during the switch over. So, you may not be able to access these sites for a a few minutes at a time between 7 and 8 am.
Why are we doing this? The new switches are faster and will provide better access, particularly for the web pages served from library servers. This installation is a step in the process of moving the library servers to a new, more secure, better airconditioned location within the library. This will provide not only better service, but also better physical security for the servers.
Thanks in advance for your patience. We'll be back in full operation as quickly as possible. And some of you will likely never know that anything happened at all.
LIBRARY CONTINUES SOFTWARE UPGRADE, ASKS FOR HELP IDENTIFYING PROBLEMS

The upgrade began in early January and is ongoing, with periodic software updates. A number of problems with searching and ordering materials have already been identified; the library has reported these problems and is working with the vendor to get them resolved. AU faculty, staff, and students can help by reporting problems relating to this upgrade to the Library Systems Department. The primary contact person in the department is Denise Cosby at 844-1798. If Denise is not available, please report problems to Jon Bell, at 844-1766. The e-mail address for reporting problems is libhelp@auburn.edu.
