Connect NY is migrating to a new platform during spring/summer 2021. While this change will lead to a more user-centered experience for library patrons, it does mean that our Connect NY services are unavailable through August 2021.

During this time books can still be requested from other libraries through Interlibrary Loan.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Interlibrary Loan Department at ill@lemoyne.edu.

Connect NY is migrating to a new platform during spring/summer 2021. While this change will lead to a more user-centered experience for library patrons, it does mean that our Connect NY services will be unavailable during the implementation phase.

While the Connect NY catalog will be unavailable, books can still be requested from other libraries through Interlibrary Loan.

The last day to submit requests for materials through Connect NY is Thursday, March 11, 2021. This service will be offline until the new platform goes live in August 2021. Any items requested by March 11th will receive the normal 42 day loan period but renewals will not be available.

ProQuest will be taking up to an eight-hour maintenance window beginning Saturday, January 30 at 10:00 PM ET to upgrade infrastructure, enhance security, and maintain reliability on many of its online products. During this maintenance window, the following platforms will be unavailable.

• ProQuest Research databases
• Ebook Central
• Academic Video Online (Alexander Street)
• ProQuest Syndetic Solutions

Work on the Library server is now completed as of noon, January 5th.

The Library will be upgrading its proxy server and catalog on January 5, 2021, beginning at 9:00 am ET and lasting 4-6 hours. During this time, online journals, ebooks, and databases will be unavailable from both on- and off-campus.

If you are on-campus, a work-around is available. In both Chrome and Firefox browsers, you are able to install this UnProxy This bookmarklet, by dragging it into your bookmarks toolbar. Clicking it will remove the proxy server information from any library resource’s URL that you are trying to access. This will allow you to access the library resource from on-campus.

If you have any problems, please contact Tom Keays. He will be monitoring a special Zoom Meeting Room during the server outage to help with any problems you might have.
