UNISTAR Library Catalog Offline from 10-noon
UNISTAR, our online library catalog, will not be available from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon today, May 28th in order for some required maintenance to occur.
The library's databases will also be unavailable from off-campus during this time. Patrons may still use the databases from a computer located on the UNI campus, such as in a faculty office, inside the library, in computer centers, in residence halls, etc.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
