What to do when your website is down:
1) Introduce students to the joy and wonder that is the telnet version of the online catalog.
2) Print indexes are great to have around, specifically the old reliable Readers’ Guide to Periodical Literature for those students with more general topics to work on.
3) Fun with advanced search techniques in various search engines, google uncle sam, and lii.org

Telnet! Command line interface! I’m so glad those things are still around. I have fond memories of my college library’s telnet interface.

Yay telnet!
I think when we upgrade the telnet version of the catalog is going to go away, alas.
