“SPOT News: the lastest news from the Scholars Portal Operations Team”

(They probably mean “latest news”, but who knows?)

The Scholars Portal Operations team now has its own blog, at http://www.scholarsportal.info/spot-news/. They’ve apparently been posting to it since April. From the announcement posted to the scholarsportal list at 3:34 am today:

“SPOT News is the spot to get the latest information on Scholars Portal.

Wondering what’s been happening at the Central Operations Office? The latest
news is just a click away. Browse all the entries or click the link for the
service you are interested in”

They’re using the same WordPress software as this blog, so you’ll be able to set up an RSS feed for it, and leave comments as well. I’ll have to decide whether or not to repost their stuff here, or simply assume that all of you will be reading it (at least occasionally). Any comments?

Scholars Portal Search down Wednesday morning at 7:30

From Alan Darnell:

We need to bring the Scholars Portal Search server down for maintenance tomorrow morning starting at 7:30am.  It should be back online before any of the libraries opens for business.

No word on what the problem was, though.

Illumina access problems

From the scholarsportal list:

We’ve had reports of people not being able to log into Illumina — they are seeing an
“Error: Authentication failed” message

We’ve reported this to CSA and will let you know what’s happening as soon as we know something.
