The Library has learned that the Chabot Las Positas Community College District is going through a current server emergency upgrade.

The server down times are currently slated for the following:

Thursday, July 31st after 3 p.m. to the rest of the day.

Friday, August 1st before 8 a.m. After 8 a.m. all servers should be running for the rest of the day.

Sunday, August 3rd, ALL DAY. No access to the college web site, Library web pages, Class-Web, or databases.
