> Dear Nylink Members,
>
> We hope that you and your loved ones are all safe and sound. The
> tragic
> events of this week are incredibly sad and the full effect is just
> beginning
> to be known.
>
> One of the effects of the bombing in Manhattan is that Internet
> access is
> currently unavailable for some libraries in New York City, Long
> Island and
> other areas to the north of New York. Some libraries in the New
> York City
> area with dedicated TCP/IP connections to OCLC are also affected.
> This means
> that for some they are unable to access OCLC for ILL, Cataloging,
> FirstSearch and other OCLC services. In some cases, outages could
> last for
> some time.
>
> We are working to find out exactly which libraries are affected and
> will let
> you know more as we know more. In the meantime, to avoid delay on
> your ILL
> requests, it might be a good idea to adjust your lender strings
> accordingly.
> You might also want to contact a specific library to find out if
> their
> access is working and if their library is fully staffed and
> functioning
> before requesting an item.
>
> We will post more information about these outages to both this list
> and to
> the Nylink web site at http://nylink.suny.edu
> <http://nylink.suny.edu>  .
> If you know of a library that is without Internet access please let
> me know,
> and I will share the information.
>
> Thank you very much.
