Project Muse Error

Accessing Project Muse this morning, an error message appears.
http://0-muse.jhu.edu.library.uor.edu/

The error message says "502 Bad Gateway
Connection to remote host returned error 14."

I've alerted ITS and sent a help request to Project Muse.

Based on a related comment on a Innopac uses group Listserv, I believe this is
relatively minor and will go away soon.
Let's hope the hive mind is correct.

Crafton Hills Students & Electronic Databases

I had two Crafton Hills students working at the reference computers this afternoon who wanted me to log them into the electronic databases. I informed them that the databases are only for our students and faculty (contractual agreements, etc.). They told me that someone working last night logged them in. I apologized several times, explained our agreement with Crafton Hills (to my knowledge), and did not give them access.

I am happy to work with them at the reference desk in those databases that allow walk-in usage. But we need to ask faculty, staff, and student workers at the library to be consistent in our electronic database policies.
