The Library will also be closed on Saturday, December 30 and Monday, January 1 for the New Year’s Holiday.
Along with City and State offices, the Library will be closed on Tuesday, January 2 to observe a National Day of Mourning for President Ford.
As of 1:00 p.m., Tuesday, December 26, the NExpress catalog is maybe available (off and on). The Consortium staff are working with Sirsi, the company responsible for our catalog software, to diagnose and fix this unexpected crash. The NExpress catalog button will stay active, but we can not guarantee that it will take you to the catalog. Please keep trying.
I’d like to share the most recent word we’ve received from the Executive Director of the Kansas City Library Consortium, Debbie Siragusa:
We would like to apologize for the extended unplanned downtime of the system. We are diligently working with SIRSI to get us up and operating and we hope to be functioning by early tomorrow. We are in touch with their senior management and they are aware of the seriousness of the situation.
Due to the unstableness of the current system we will not be moving forward with the upgrade as planned. At this time there are so many uncertainties about the cause of the problem.
Have a Holiday gathering coming up? The Friends of the Library will be selling baked goods from Saturday, December 16 to Friday, December 22 or whenever we run out of cookies, rice crispie treats, banana muffins, 7-layer bars, and more! We appreciate your support!
