SDLN is Back!

Email from SDLN 6 pm Wen.-- The indexing service that has been running all day has finally finished.The ALEPH services affected by this service are now available. Once again, I apologize for this massive inconvenience. I know how much this affected libraries during the first few days of school.

The affected indexing service builds the word index used for searching the SDLN catalog, as well as all individual library catalogs. This service isn't run on a regular basis.

SDLN Problems

By
Searching in ALEPH (libray's online catalog) is currently not functioning correctly. Some records were not indexed properly as a result of the power outage last week, and as a result the entire SDLN word index was built incorrectly. SDLN staff is currently running a service that is rebuilding the entire SDLN word index. During the time the service runs, searching will be available, but results will be minimal. The service usually takes around 9-12 hours to complete. Please contact the library reference desk if you need assistance in locating materials! http://library.sdsmt.edu/contact.htm
