[Michlib-l] MeL Minute - November 18, 2015

[Borrelli, Eunice (MDE)]

Hello all,

If you've been reading messages on michlib-l at mcls.org, mamelist at mcls.org, meldatabases-list at mcls.org, mhsla at uic.edu, and various other news edelivery options, you already know the significance of November 18, 2015.  If somehow you missed the news, here it is:  There's A New Server in Town!  That's right.  The computer servers behind MeL and MeLCat are changing which will result in some service interruptions November 18 through December 11.

Specifically, MeLCat requesting will be turned off November 18, 12:01am and will be restored by December 11.
MeL databases direct access will not be affected when done from within a school/library.
MeL databases remote access (via driver's license/state I.D. or MeLCat library account) and MeL Discovery Search across multiple MeL databases will be turned off December 2, 12:01am.
All will be restored by December 11.

MeL Databases FAQ<http://elibrary.mel.org/screens/meldbmove.html> and MeLCat FAQ<http://elibrary.mel.org/screens/melmove.html> have been created and provide useful information for library staff and patrons.  For library staff who have questions not covered in these documents email meldatabaseshelp at mcls.org<mailto:meldatabaseshelp at mcls.org>.  Library patrons are directed to contact their home library for assistance.

MeL Minutes are brought to you by the Library of Michigan.  Want more information on MeL?
