Einstein, SFX, and VideoFurnace upcoming maintenance

During the upcoming intersession the Library will be taking the opportunity to do some hardware and software maintenance on a few of our systems.

Sunday, March 18 from 7:00-10:00 am
Wednesday, March 21 from 6:30-8:30 am
* Update: Wednesday's maintenance is taking longer than anticipated. Einstein and SFX may continue to be unavailable this afternoon, until 5pm or possibly later.
** As of approximately 3:40pm, Einstein and SFX are now available. We apologize for the inconvenience.

The server which runs Metalib (Einstein) and SFX will be unavailable during the above times. During that window it is possible that the applications may briefly be available but we anticipate that the entire maintenance window will be needed to complete the work.
