HSL Website Switching to HTML

Posted on by

On Wednesday August 17th at 9 am,  the Health Sciences Library website is switching from using Cold Fusion to HTML.

What does this switch mean?

It means that the URL extensions for HSL web pages will switch from .cfm to .html.   For example:

http://libraries.uc.edu/hsl/reference/elec/Etext.cfm

will switch to

http://libraries.uc.edu/hsl/reference/elec/Etext.html

It also means that if you have bookmarked any HSL internal web pages, you will need to update your bookmarks.

There may be a brief period during the transition when HSL web pages are unavailable.  Once the page redirection is in place, access should return to normal. We will be checking behind the scenes for access issues throughout the day and the rest of the week.

If you have any questions or discover an access issue, please contact Edith Starbuck at 513-558-1433 or edith.starbuck@uc.edu.
