Wright State University has temporarily suspended lending of their materials via Ohiolink.  This is in preparation for transferring records to central depository catalog.  They are estimating this will take 4 weeks.  The status of their items are still listed as available, however no copies will be available for requesting.

Due to an unforeseen maintenance problem, the online catalog will be down for ~5 minutes between 10:30 and 11 pm on Mon., 4/16.

(Resolved, 4/16) Reaxys has again temporarily shut down our off-campus access due to a pirated name.#.  Our IT people are working with them to resolve the issue and we hope to have off-campus access up asap.

(Resolved, 4/9) e-journal access THROUGH the OhioLINK server is currently not working.   We are aware of and working on the problem.  Access directly through vendor’s sites (such as the American Chemical Society, IEEE, etc.)  is recommended and should be working.  Off-campus access at vendor’s sites will require authentication:  http://library.osu.edu/blogs/labs/2011/03/28/osu-library-labs-off-campus-sign-in-bookmarklet/
