The Libraries IT Division is planning to upgrade Sierra to the latest Release (4.0) on Wednesday, July 11 beginning at 5:00 pm. This will require approximately two hours of downtime for both Sierra and the library catalog. We chose that date because the number of people affected by the downtime will be diminished. By scheduling it in the evening, it is less likely that staff workflow will be disrupted.

While we upgrade Sierra, we don’t expect the system to be down for more than two hours, but we will send out an update should that time be extended for any reason. With this release, we expect that a few issues that have been marked as in “Software Engineering” with Innovative will now be resolved.

If you find any problems with Sierra or the library catalog following this upgrade, please report anything that is not functioning correctly to Hub (go.osu.edu/hub). I would greatly appreciate your assistance.
