Classic Catalog Down Tonight
The Classic Catalog will be down for most of tonight, to allow for a system and hardware upgrade. That means that access to your library record will not be available overnight.
The SmartCAT will remain available.
If all goes according to schedule, the Classic Catalog and its My Record service will go down at 11:00pm, and will be back up in the morning, at around 8am.
SpringerLink Migration – Personal Accounts “will be lost”
If you use any of the e-journals on SringerLink, please note that there will be some changes in the service starting at 6:00pm on 15 October (Monday):
- All connections will be automatically migrated to a new platform with new features
- Due to privacy reasons, all existing individual (My SpringerLink) accounts will not be migrated and these accounts will be lost.
