Our apologies to anyone who was inconvenienced by our recent CWMARS and web-hosting problems. Here’s what happened as far as we understand it. Our connection to the big servers in Paxton, MA that allow us to use Millenium Circulation would not receive packets sent from the Milne. Turned out to be faulty wiring somewhere in the Worcester area and as far as we know things are patched now. If you notice any odd things on your record during the April 1 to April 7 time period, remember that although we could check out materials using a simple number system (DOS), we couldn’t check anything in. This created quite a backlog for staff once the system came back up. Everything should be corrected by now but if you notice anything odd about your record, please let us know.
As for the library’s homepage, we have an on-going issue with the file path that we can’t correct here. Things are back to normal in our files with pictures up and functionality returned but we can no longer be seen at http://www.milnelibrary.org. All you need to do is change the path and drop the “www” or just Google “milnelibrary” and we will show up. We are still on the world wide web but our server isn’t pulling us from there. Don’t ask me, contact the guy behind the green curtain that makes it all work.
