Problem with OneSearch on Library Home Page

UPDATE 13 May 2015 5:00 pm: This problem is now fixed.


 

If you run a search in OneSearch using the yellow search bar on the library website, you’ll get an error on the search results page that says “An unexpected error has occured” and looks like this:

OneSearch--error message after widget search

 

If you re-run the search within the OneSearch interface, it’ll be fine. The CUNY Office of Library Service is looking into this problem with search widgets embedded in library web pages.

Maintenance Work to Affect Catalog and OneSearch

Between 7 am and 11:30 am this Friday (April 3), the library catalog and OneSearch will be affected in different ways by planned maintenance work by CUNY CIS:

  • library catalog
    • entirely unavailable
  • OneSearch
    • searches can be run but there will be no way to log in (using library ID number) to see full search results when off campus (but you can still click through the “View Online” tab on or off campus to view the full text of those items your search does find)
    • real-time availability messages for items we own (e.g., books that can be borrowed) will not display

Remote access to library databases (handled through our EZproxy server) will be unaffected by this work.
