2 Questions & Answers
2.1 How long will the maintenance take?
It should not normally take more than a few days. For more specific information however, please visit your local library authority webpages.
2.2 The catalogue should be back up, but I am unable to see it. What is going on?
Your browser may have cached this page, thinking that this is the libraries catalogue. Caching normally happens to reduce the time it takes to load a page you have visited before.

- Firefox: press the Ctrl and F5 keys on your keyboard simultaneously (Ctrl+F5)
- Chrome: press the Ctrl and F5 keys on your keyboard simultaneously (Ctrl+F5)

- Safari: press the COMMAND and R keys on your keyboard simultaneously (COMMAND+R)
- Opera: press the F5 key on your Keyboard (F5)
2.3 The catalogue is still not showing. What else can I try?
