The Duke Online Catalog system experienced a hardware failure late Sunday morning. Library Information Systems Support staff have replaced the necessary hardware. However, there is currently no estimate of when the system will be fully restored. Check the Library home page for updates on the status of this issue.

The Duke Online Catalog is currently available on the library's failover server for searching only. User authentication is not currently enabled on the failover system. Therefore online renewals, requests and access to e-reserves is not available via the catalog system. However, access to e-reserves is still available through Blackboard course websites.

For further information or assistance please Ask a Librarian.

We apologize for the inconvenience of this extended outage.
