This will help prevent similar drive failures in the future.  As a result of this upgrade, a number of Scholars Portal services will be unavailable for a period of time this weekend.

The following services will be unavailable from Sunday July 28, 8 AM to Monday July 29, 8 AM:
- Journals
- Books
- ODESI
- GeoPortal
- SCOT and SPUD analysis tools
- Dataverse
- RefWorks
 
This weekend’s maintenance is in addition to the planned service outage for the August holiday weekend, which is due to a scheduled full electrical shutdown of the Robarts Library building.

At that time, ALL Scholars Portal services will be unavailable from Monday August 5, 5 AM to Tuesday August 6, 5 AM.

Please contact help@scholarsportal.info if you have any questions.
