Here's our monitoring graph for this site. Red bars indicate where the server was unable to handle all requests within our timeout setting.

A line graph titled “Response time” showing response latency over a 24-hour period from October 2, 12:27 to October 3, 12:27. The vertical axis ranges from 0 ms to 781 ms. The green line represents response times, fluctuating mostly between 200 ms and 500 ms, with occasional peaks and dips. Red vertical bars indicate periods of errors or issues. Toward the right end of the graph, response times drop and stabilize at a lower range around 200 ms or less.

One of our hosted sites is under constant attack from scraper bots. We've implemented the open source tech Anubis and now the site is much more stable.

Really exciting to see another preprint archive launch. In this case the CDRXIV site is backed by Janeway with content being pulled from our API.

Climate change is happening quickly. Solutions research needs to move at a speed that meets the challenge. We're launching @cdrxiv.org, a new preprint server for CDR research, because transparency and collaboration help move the field forward. Let’s make better CDR, together: cdrxiv.org

Really good stuff from @siobhanh.bsky.social on the absolutely bleak Clarivate announcement.

Michelle Reed @librariansreed.bsky.social · Feb 20

A must read on the Clarivate announcement to end perpetual access to print, e-books, & digital collections by end of year. Siobhan Haimé suggests this disaster for libraries could be “an opportunity to radically explore alternative models to protect equitable access.”
