On Saturday, October 24th, the Lane Catalog and Jackson Catalog will not be available from 6am to 8pm due to a network upgrade in our data centers. Links from Socrates to these two systems will be routed to a maintenance page. Additionally, DocXpress, Lane's document delivery service, will also be down.

LaneConnex, Lane's main search portal, will be up and running normally during this maintenance.

Only a few days remain in DVAM, a month set aside to bring awareness to this societal issue for which everyone shares responsibility. The Department of Justice joined in the observance DVAM to help the public recognize that domestic violence is a crime. Read also President Obama's Proclamation.
