Problems with internet search

Post by yaz »

Hi,

I started using bookends yesterday and am still trying around with it - yesterday the internet search was working great and I was very happy that the German database GBV is included, but today the internet search won't work! I restarted a couple of times, but whenever I try to do a search some window pops up and gives me some error message, something with "doctype HTML..."
The proplem occurs no matter what search options I use, it's very frustrating.

Somebody help please...

The LOC gateway is temporarily down. This is from their web site:

"The Library of Congress Web sites are currently unavailable due to scheduled maintenance.

We expect to restore service by 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, Sunday, February 26.

We apologize for the inconvenience."

so would this explain why all the other libraries don't work either?

Right. Amazon and PubMed do work, BTW, because they use a different method to access data.
