Discovery Search box down

UPDATE: The discovery search box is working again. 11/15/24 12:33pm 

Our discovery search box on the library home page is currently down, except for the eJournals search. All other search options go to a 404 error page. We are working to get it back up. You can still search our databases directly. We will update this blog when it is fixed.
