On Monday, May 27, 2013, there will be an Internet outage for Otis College. It has been scheduled for the Memorial Day holiday to minimize the impact.
The downtime is scheduled for 8am-5pm PDT. The actual outage may not last the entire time. (what time is this in my timezone)
What will be available
- Main Otis Website, including the Library’s pages
- Publicly-available O-Space e-Portfolios (i.e., those with the permissions set to “Public”)
- Otis content on:
What will be unavailable
- Library Catalog (including accessing your library account)
- Mass Transit
- Most of O-Space:
- O-Space login page
- Course-specific content (the CMS)
- E-portfolios with limited access (i.e., permissions set to “Private to me” or “Private within Otis College of Art and Design”)
- Otis Blogosphere (including this blog)
- Otis Collections Online (though the individual collection descriptions will be available on the main Otis website)
- OtisDID
- Otis Webmail
- Research databases that require proxyserver access, e.g. EBSCOhost Art Source and The Vogue Archive
- Self Service
- And almost every other Otis resource that requires a logon
Thank you for your patience while these services are down.
Enjoy the holiday! I’ll be using it to prepare for next year’s National Day of Unplugging.
