Expected downtimes on the Libraries website - Dec. 26th, Dec. 28th, Dec. 29th, and Jan. 2nd

Rutgers University has scheduled a planned power outage on the Rutgers' Busch/Livingston campuses, to allow for major electrical work in those areas, during the afternoon of Friday December 26^th. The Libraries' Technical & Automated Services building, which houses many of our servers, is located on the Busch campus. Thus the Rutgers University Libraries website, and the Rutgers community & scholarly partners' web resources hosted on our website, will not be available that afternoon.

The following web resources will be unavailable at times during the scheduled downtime window:

• IRIS
• Ask a Librarian
• Electronic Reserves
• Interlibrary Loan
• Mediavision Scheduler
• Searchpath
• Moving Images Collections (MIC) website
• New Jersey Video Portal (NJVid) - Search & Browse functions
• New Jersey Digital Highway (NJDH)
• Rutgers Community Repository (RUcore)
• Electronic Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)
• Faculty Deposit Portal
• Partner Portals (Virginia Tech, Atlantic County Library, etc..)
• Women Artists Archives National Directory (WAAND)
• BookRoom
• Director's Station
• ILLIAD
• the payroll server, and
• the ticket system

We hope to return the Rutgers University Libraries website, and all the web resources hosted on our website, to full service by 6:30 pm that evening.

To perform infrastructure maintenance there will also be a planned power outage at the University's Administrative Services Building, on the Busch campus, on Sunday December 28^th and Monday December 29^th. This power outage will lead to a loss of network connectivity in the nearby Libraries ' Technical and Automated Services Building. As a result the Libraries website, and all the partner websites and web resources (please see the bulleted list above) available through our website, will not be available between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm on both days.

We hope to return the Rutgers University Libraries website, and all the partner websites and web resources hosted on our website, to full service by 7:00 pm on the evening of Monday December 29th

To accommodate a software upgrade, IRIS - the Libraries online catalog, will not be available the entire day of Friday January 2^nd. We hope to return IRIS to full service by 6:00 am the following morning, Saturday January 3rd.

We are sorry for any inconvenience these downtimes present to our users.
