Last update for the week!
If you go to the TEL website, all the resources are accessible except TEL4U.org and the Tennessee Records on Ancestry. We are still working to get access to them asap. Check on
www.tntel.info to see if access has been restored over the weekend.
If you are using Gale Pages, see the recommendation listed below. If you need assistance during this time, please contact technical support at 1-800-877-4253

directly.
Thank you for all being patient while a whole slew of people worked to get TEL back together again; TEL’s no Humpty Dumpty! Big round of applause to all the support from our IT staff here at the State and with our vendors ensuring that
we can still provide access to these great school and library resources.
Have a great weekend and I’ll give you an update on the state of TEL on Monday!
Thanks again,
Andrea
