Encore service to restored evening of Aug. 28
We apologize for the inconvenience, but Encore needs to go through some unscheduled maintenance. If you are unfamiliar with Encore, it’s a discovery platform and better way to search the catalog. It will be unavailable this afternoon, but you can still search for books, journals, and other materials through the traditional catalog.

Federated Serarch Tool – Temporarily Unavailable
On Tuesday, August 25th from 6:30-7pm, the federated search tools will be down due to scheduled web server maintenance. You will not be able to use any of the federated search tools on the UH Libraries’ website. This includes doing a search on the homepage for articles. You can still go into individual databases to look for articles. We apologize for this inconvenience.
