With apologies for cross-posting

We have recently experienced significantly increased usage of Cambridge Journals Online (CJO), and some users have noticed connection delays when trying to reach the CJO site.  We tried to mitigate the inconvenience by limiting the number of concurrent users and by timing out sessions where no activity has taken place for five minutes.  While these efforts have helped to some degree, they have failed to reinstate a consistently acceptable level of service.

We therefore have ordered new hardware for CJO, and the new server will be installed within the next two to four weeks.  This should restore and even surpass the site’s past performance standards.  

Please accept our apologies for any difficulty you may experience.  We appreciate your patrons’ use of our journals, and ask for their (and your) continued patience in the interim.
