The Forsythe mainframe computer will be taken out of service in December 2003, as announced today to most of our customers in a letter from Sandy Senti. We in TSS will work with them to move programs and services they need off the mainframe onto either UNIX or Windows-based systems. Also, we are developing a transitional "bridge" from our ORVYL-based SPIRES to a UNIX version for some clients unable to move SPIRES applications to other programs before December 2003. It is temporary (we will provide base support, but no development, for that service through December 2004), and it will not provide all the functionality of our current mainframe system. SPIRES users who believe they will need this bridge are asked to contact Tilak Dhar by September 2002 so that we can seek one-time funding on behalf of the application owners needing this support.

Lane Medical Library has a beta version of our new website available for preview, due to replace our current site (http://lane.stanford.edu) on Monday June 17th. After extensive usability testing, we've reorganized our navigation to simplify access to services and content. Watch the front page for fresh library news, including Medical Center events and database searching tips. Please take a look and use the feedback form on the site to let us know what you think.
