RESOLVED: Tripod Currently Unavailable

Update, 10:39pm: We’ve heard from our vendor that all services have been restored. Community members should be able to log in to Tripod as normal.
Thank you all for your patience.
If you have any questions, or need to report any continued issues, please don’t hesitate to reach out to library@brynmawr.edu

This evening, the vendor that supports Tripod, our library catalog, is experiencing a major outage and Tripod is unavailable. During this outage, patrons will be unable to search for books or articles, access their patron records, or place holds. We don’t have an estimated time for when things will be back up and running, but we’re working to get things resolved as quickly as possible.
