The DePaul Libraries' website will be down for 5 to 10 minutes sometime from 2am-3am on Sunday August 23 for maintenance.  Our apologies to any of you night owls out there. 

Friday August 21 marks the end of summer quarter.  During break, the DePaul Libraries will be closed on Sundays from August 23 to September 8.   Drop boxes are available for anyone wanting to return books while we are closed.  There is a indoor drop box on the Kenmore-side of the hallway leading to the Lincoln Park library and an outdoor book depository against the wall near the statue on the quad-side of the library.  Congrats to all for successfully finishing another quarter! 

Updates to the library catalog and the I-Share system have been completed and service has been restored. Please contact us if you continue to experience any difficulties. Again, thank you for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience.

The DePaul Library catalog and the I-Share Catalog have been experiencing intermittent outages this summer due to issues with servers maintained by our consortium.

To restore the stability of these systems, the consortium will revert to version 6.5.3 in the early morning hours of August 14. The appearance of the catalog will return to what it was during the last academic year, prior to the June 2009 upgrade.

You may experience some difficulties in accessing the online catalog or renewing materials, and with other services which rely on data from the online catalog as we work to update links and data. We expect that most services will be restored by noon on Friday, August 14th.

Thank you for your patience as we transition, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
