PROSPECTOR DOWN ON DECEMBER 17, 2007 FOR NETWORK UPGRADE
On Monday, December 17, 2007, the Prospector system will not be operational since a network upgrade is planned. Prospector is hosted by the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries and on that day the consortium will be installing a newer higher capacity Internet connection through a new Internet Service Provider (ISP). The outage will start around 8am in the morning and Prospector, along with other services hosted by the consortium, will be out most of the day.
The Web domain name for Prospector will remain unchanged (http://prospector.coalliance.org) although the underlying numeric IP address will change. This change will not affect the general public but is requiring some changes to other computer systems that connect to Prospector.
