We will be upgrading the security of the Discovery Service on Tuesday 26th June at 4 pm. It is expected that the Discovery Service will not display normally at first after this change because only some important parts of the Discovery Service will change to the new secure https protocol. When web browsers access non-secured or mixed content from a secure site (starting with https), by default they display only the secured content. While it is usually not advisable to override this security setting, if you are loading content from a site that you trust, such as the Library website, and you are happy with the risks, you can choose to display the blocked content as well. This will make the Discovery Service appear as normal. The Discovery Service is expected to return to normal without you having to do anything by the morning of Wednesday 27th June.
