Copac Beta trial interface
There is now a Beta version of the Copac interface available for trial at http://beta.copac.ac.uk/.
We're working towards making Copac a more personalised research tool and we'd love to have your feedback on the current range of developments. Try out the Beta version of Copac, explore the new features, then fill in a brief questionnaire to give us your views about the changes so far. In appreciation we'll put your name in a hat to win a £35 Amazon voucher. The Beta interface will be available for comment until May 29th.
Note: Access to the Beta version of Copac is currently restricted to members of UK academic institutions, you will need to login with your university/college username (or Athens username). The developments will be made more widely available in the future and there will continue to be a free access version of Copac available to everyone.

Copac unavailability: update
Due to a hardware fault, many Mimas services, including Copac, have been unavailable over the past few days. This fault has now been resolved, and the services have been restored. However, stability is not assured, and further brief outages may occur. We hope that these will be minor, and not greatly impact on the service.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this unavailability, and thank you all for your patience.

Copac 'at risk': emergency maintenance this morning (12th March)
As a result of recent hardware problems Copac is currently running 'at risk', as are other Mimas services. Emergency maintenance is planned for this morning (12th March) and Copac will be unavailable whilst this takes place, but it should only be for a short time. Apologies for this further loss of service.
