November 9 Downtime for Library Catalog and OneSearch

Between 8 am and 10 am on Saturday, November 9, CUNY CIS will be doing maintenance on systems that will affect the following services:

  • The library catalog (also known as CUNY+) may be entirely unavailable
    • Workaround: Use OneSearch to see if we actually have the item
  • OneSearch will be searchable but users won’t be able to get real-time info on the status of print books found, nor will users be able to log into their patron accounts to check loan periods, renew loans, etc.
    • Workaround: Stop by the circulation desk in the library
  • OneSearch will not be able to display the green “full text available” links in records
    • Workaround: Use the A-Z journals search tool to identify what database has access to that journal, magazine, newspaper, etc.
  • Databases will not display the “Find it @ CUNY” buttons or those buttons won’t work
    • Workaround: Use the A-Z journals search tool to identify what database has access to that journal, magazine, newspaper, etc.
