Update (11:00 AM, Dec 2): Access to OCLC services has been restored.

OCLC, the vendor of our library catalog, reports a system-wide outage beginning about 11:00PM on Dec 1.

This outage affects access to the library's WorldCat Local catalog (http://luther.worldcat.org) as well as many library staff tools.

Access to research databases such as Academic Search Complete, JSTOR, etc., is still available. See the library's All Databases page for direct links into individual databases.

OCLC provides updates here: http://www.oclc.org/support/systemalerts.en.html We will update this post once access is restored.
