Essential work means University Library & portal unavailable Fri 7th March 16.30 (UK time) to Mon 10th March

Please can I draw attention to this message from the University Computing Services as it will have an impact on access to the Library e-resources and the University portal this weekend:

The University Computing Services regrets that in order to carry out essential remedial work to the electrical power distribution system in the main University computer suite it will be necessary to close many services this weekend (March 8th - 9th). It is intended that most services will close at 16:30 (UK time) on Friday March 7th and will restart on the morning of Monday 10th March.

The following services will NOT be available:

* the Library system (and catalogue)
* the University portal
* Dialup and Virtual Private Network (vpn) services
* the University Web server
* announcement system

During this period the following services WILL be available (but should be considered "at risk"):

* the Managed Windows Service (MWS) with access to the M: drive
* email
* the Internet
* Windows Terminal Service (WTS)

We apologise for any inconvenience that undertaking this essential work will cause.

We expect all services to be fully operational on Monday 10th March.
