No longer updating this blog

With the introduction of our new library website, we are also changing how we deliver news posts.

We will no longer be updating this blog. Instead, on the new library website, you can find updates on our news page.

New library website coming next week!

We will be unveiling a new library website next week, so below is your sneak peek at what the homepage will look like. (Click the image to make it larger.)

We tried to keep a lot of the same elements, so giving you quick access to a search that searches all our book collection and the majority of our databases. And giving you quick access to an Articles page (it's called Databases on our current site) where you can easily find databases to search by subject area.

We'll make a little video showcasing some things on the new site when we go live, but don't hesitate to ask us questions.

Off-campus access TODAY, 8/22

Off-campus access will be interrupted this morning while we implement our new EZproxy server.  We apologize for the inconvenience and we'll have it up and running again as soon as possible.

ILL access 7/13

Starting around 9 p.m. on July 13, and lasting for 4-5 hours, our interlibrary loan system will be down for upgrades. During this time you will be unable to place interlibrary loans and you will not be able to enter the system to retrieve interlibrary loans.

This interruption should not affect any interlibrary loans you place before this time period, but if you do have any troubles or any questions, contact interlibrary loan at:

• St. Paul campus: iloan@stkate.edu
• Minneapolis campus: iloanmpl@stkate.edu

Thank you, and sorry for this interruption.

Library access July 4 weekend

UPDATE 7/4: Off-campus access to library databases appear to be working again. Let us know if you're still having issues accessing them - library@stkate.edu.

_______

Due to the Kateway update, all off-campus access to library databases has unexpectedly become inaccessible.

We have contacted IT to see if there is any way they can fix the login, but we do not have a time frame for when it may be back up and running.

We apologize for this inconvenience.
