Springshare Server Maintenance

Hi Everyone! Springshare sent a couple of maintenance notices for backend work they are performing this coming week:

  1. Critical server maintenance for all products starting at 5am Eastern on Wednesday December 22, 2021, which will require as much as 20 minutes of down time for each Springshare appĀ (LibGuides, LibAnswers, LibCal, LibStaffer, LibWizard, LibInsight, and LibConnect).
  2. Server maintenance for the administrative side of LibGuides starting at 8pm Eastern on Tuesday, December 28, 2021, which will require as much as 2 hours of down time for the back end of LibGuides. This is in addition to the other server maintenance work scheduled for December 22nd starting at 5am Eastern.

The public side of LibGuides will remain online, though some functionality will not be available, including logging in to LibApps.
