So the second day of spring found us in the middle of Finals Week (courtesy of the quarter system that I am still not used to after 8 years), in a world that looked like THIS –
Our world here doesn’t usually look like this even when it is winter. Seriously, this is the first real snow fort I can remember seeing in the Willamette Valley and I have lived in western Oregon since I was seven.
(Finals week = no snow day, and I can’t imagine what kind of logistical nightmares people were having to deal with anyway)
So this is a long way of introducing the fact that we’re in the middle of Spring Break now, so EBSCO going dark yesterday was probably going to be as low-impact as it possibly could around here. Which doesn’t change the fact that Shaun was in his office for less than a half hour before I saw this tweet –
– which turned out to be about EBSCO.
Which is a long way of introducing this awesome telling of the EBSCO tale, which is also a really awesome example of how to use Storify:
Nice use of Storify. I love that site. I didn’t think of it as a way to track database outages. Might be good for feedback to vendors.
