MERLIN Server Migration March 30

The upcoming MERLIN server migration is scheduled for Thursday, March 30. MERLIN will be down during the migration.

You can refer to https://libraryguides.missouri.edu/merlinmigration to assist in answering users’ questions. 

If you have questions that are not covered on this page, please let us know so that we can add them. You can also contact the Ellis Circulation Desk or refer users to the Ellis Circulation Desk for assistance.

We also plan to notify users in different ways that MERLIN will be down.

  • We have requested a banner be placed at the top of the libraries’ website that links to the guide listed above.  That should show up any time now so that users will have advanced notice.
  • The same notice will be posted on the Books & Media tab.
  • We will post an announcement to the carousel on the libraries’ website.
  • On Thursday, we will:

     

    • Redirect the MERLIN (Classic Catalog) link that displays under Quick Links on the website to point to the information page.
    • Redirect the Looking for a Specific Book link that displays on the website to the information page.
    • Change the default search on the Books & Media tab to MOBIUS.
    • Disable MERLIN from displaying in Discover@MU.

For those with specialized library websites, you can contact Judy if you want to post notices on your sites.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Rhonda
