Here is the official word:
Voyager is currently unavailable. Systems staff are working to rectify the issue. We don’t have a ETA at this time of when Voyager will be available. This is affecting Circulation, ILL, Opac authentication, reading rooms and various web services.
However, our discovery service, Summon, is still working and our online resources are functioning. To use Summon, go to the Library Homepage and under the “General” tab, insert your search terms. From the results, links to Print Books won’t work, but links to online resources should.

UPDATE => WE ARE BACK! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Seasonal, non-denominational nor quasi-religious greetings!
Oh, wait. I already said “Closed for Christmas”.
Anyway, eResources & Access is closed from December 20th, 2013 till January 2nd, 2014. Please still report any problems via our Help Form, and we will look into it when we return.
Hope you are getting a well deserved break. Enjoy yourself, and we’ll see you in the new year!
