Enhanced content down today

It appears that no Sirsi iBistro customers are getting their book jackets, reviews and other enhanced content from Syndetics this morning. Sirsi hasn't announced anything, but appear to be having some problem with the server that hosts this part of the catalog. There were some episodic problems with jackets last week that I put down to network slowness, since the system is configured to skip this content if it takes too long to load.
Fortunately the LibraryThing content is still up and running, as is the Novelist connector in most records. This should serve anyone's enhanced content needs for the duration of the Sirsi downtime.
--UPDATE--
And literally seconds after posting this entry, the content and jackets are back! They may cycle in and out for a while, who knows, but it looks like Sirsi is on it.
