H.W. Wilson's OmniFile Full Text database has been dropped effective December 31, 2006.

EBSCO databases will not be accessible November 19 from 6:00 am to 1:00 pm.

EBSCO is working to replace existing Generators, UPS, and HVAC systems to ensure access is provided to EJS, A-to-Z, and LinkSource during storms, disasters and other power outages. EBSCO has upgraded their power capacity and is now in the process of installing new high-capacity back up generators.

Final installation will occur on November 19 from 6:00 am to 1:00 pm CST. EBSCO will shut down their entire computer facilities.
