Bard maintenance notice

The following comes from Bard’s web site, and may be of interest to patrons of BARD.

I went up to look up something, and saw this.


Alert Message

NLS is planning routine maintenance that will begin 11:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time (EST), Tuesday, January 12, lasting 17 hours or less, with the expectation that BARD will resume normal operation by 4:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, January 13. The NLS main public and Network Library Services websites, Voyager catalog, Text-Only catalog searches, and ThatAllMayRead website will remain available. This maintenance work includes our long-expected move of BARD to a cloud environment. Once operation resumes, patrons will experience no functional change to BARD, but these users accessing the system via a high-speed Internet connections may notice faster download speeds. Don Olson


I hope this message may be of benefit to those using BARD, and thanks for reading!
