To accommodate vacation schedules and other priorities, the Data Lab will be open by appointment only from July 18 through August 24, 2011.

To schedule an appointment, users should send an e-mail to data@library.berkeley.edu.

The Data Lab, located in Doe Annex 189, provides access to a growing collection of electronic data files and analytical software.

Beginning on Saturday, July 9 at 10pm  until at least 3am and possibly as late as 8am on Sunday, July 10, 2011,  several services provided by OCLC will be down for maintenance.

The Melvyl catalog, which is based on OCLC's WorldCat system, will continue to operate normally except that book cover images will not display.

In addition, these services will be unavailable:

• ArchiveGrid
• Alternative Press Index
• Anthropology Plus
• ArticleFirst
• PapersFirst
• ... and other FirstSearch databases (for a list, search "firstsearch" here).

Date changed: The Art History/Classics Library is closed until Thursday October 13, while major maintenance work is done on the Doe Library building.

During the closure, OskiCat users can request that materials be paged for their use by clicking on the Art History/Classics location link or by following the instructions on this page.

Also during this time, Art History/Classics course reserves will be available at the Moffitt Library circulation desk.
