IMPORTANT NOTICE: Library closed this weekend

Posting Date(s)

Robertson Library will be CLOSED Saturday, July 12 and Sunday, July 13, 2025

Due to required, university-wide ITSS infrastructure upgrades which require a shutdown of services, Robertson Library services will experience significant service disruptions this weekend.

Service Disruptions

The following services will be unavailable from July 12 at 4:00 PM through July 13 at 4:00 PM:

  • Library Website: library.upei.ca will be unavailable
  • Digital Collections: UPEI and PEI digital collections will be unavailable
  • Online Catalogue: The Evergreen catalogue for browsing our physical holdings will be offline
  • Printing Services: Unavailable (Building closure supersedes this)

OneSearch Access Workaround

Limited OneSearch (EBSCO Discovery Service) access will be available with the following workaround:

Users can create a personal "MyEBSCO" account and log in directly at search.ebscohost.com to access OneSearch and individual EBSCOhost databases, bypassing campus network dependencies.

This personal MyEBSCO account must be created PRIOR to the downtime period.

Note: Access will be restricted to full text within EBSCO platforms or open access materials during the outage; non-EBSCO licensed content will remain unavailable.
