Instructions for reporting SFX failures to ExLibris and the UMass Libraries community. When any SFX component affecting end-users is not functioning, including the A-Z list or SFX menus, there are specific reporting procedures.
Diagnosis: When SFX is down, UMLinks to electronic resources do not function, the ejournals A-Z list is unavailable, and menus linking to electronic resources will not display. Databases may be searched directly, and UMA WorldCat and the Five College Catalog are available.
Ex Libris promises to reply within an hour, so call or email Ex Libris if they have not responded. For more information, see ExLibris system down documentation.
When ExLibris notifies us that SFX has resumed functioning and it is so, send an email notifying libforum-l@library.umass.edu and dbhelp@library.umass.edu, and a Web Help Request to remove Library homepage message.
