Ebooks from ProQuest EBL unavailable Saturday afternoon

FYI, the ProQuest company has let libraries and other customers know that their EBL ebooks will not be available this Saturday from 1-4 pm EST.

So, on Saturday afternoon, if you notice you're not able to get into ebooks in the EBL database, or ebooks from the library catalog that say "EBL," this is why.

Apologies for any inconvenience!
