[Eril-l] JSTOR STILL having problems -- ?! (Wednesday)!!

Wed Oct 14 06:11:14 PDT 2015

JSTOR sent this out yesterday late afternoon:

Dear Colleague,
Yesterday and today, we have been experiencing intermittent, site-wide access issues that affect use of JSTOR. Our engineers are working hard to restore stable access as quickly as possible. Please watch our Platform Updates page (http://about.jstor.org/jstor-help-support/jstor-updates) for service alerts about these issues. We will post the most current information on that page, as we have it.

We apologize for this interruption and thank you for your continued support of JSTOR.

JSTOR Support

Still not recognizing us by IP or by admin login on Wednesday morning. I haven’t seen any updates to their Twitter, either for the last 24 hours - please share the info if you get any.

HI Nancy,

When I called JSTOR Support this morning I mentioned that they hadn’t sent any updates to designated library admins about this. I suggested that it would be helpful for them to communicate this so we’re all aware plus it would save people from calling Support. She was collecting callers’ emails and said they’d be in touch once the problem was resolved but I still think it’s helpful to know about the problem when it’s occurring, not just after the fact.

Thanks for the heads-up on this.  After checking I find we are also experiencing the problem, although none of our students reported it (yet).

My question is why there has been no email to JSTOR customers about the issue.  I'm now forced to follow them on Twitter to keep up with things?

Not really what I expected from this resource.

I've now started following them so maybe I'll know if there's a resolution.....

Temple's showing 'not currently logged in' as well.  I couldn't get through on the phone, and don't see any announcement on their Twitter.

Thanks everybody who responded. Now I can tell panicking students that it’s a nationwide problem, which may allow us to redirect them to other resources. ☺ Sometimes they get so locked on to one thing, it can be hard to get them to accept alternatives.

Appreciatively,
