Status of Web and Email

Hello all,

We had a miscommunication with OET and they pointed the world to our old web-server. We have requested that they change the pointer, unfortunately this change will not occur instantly and will gradually phase in during the day with everyone corrected by tomorrow morning, sort of the reverse of what we saw yesterday. The correct page is still out there and can be reached by typing the IP address - http://64.8.163.130/ but ecrl.lib.mn.us will be problematic for the rest of today.

Email we are in the process of building a new email server. Since this is coming up from scratch we are going to take the opportunity to standardize every one's addresses to be the same format - first initial last name e.g. anordin@ecrl.lib.mn.us we will be making accommodations so that email sent to your old address will get forwarded to you. This will of course mean new passwords as well we are working on a system to disseminate new passwords securely most likely by phone.

We will try to update this throughout the day so that you are not in the dark, if you have questions just give us a call.

Andy
