To all OCLC NACO
participants:
Due to changes in
the OCLC Connexion authorities update processing, updating of
authority records will not be available until next week, most likely on Monday, December
1.
What does this
mean? It means that if you add or replace an authority record in
Connexion from November 24 through Dec
1, the record will be added or replaced in the OCLC Authority
File and available via OCLC Passport; however, the record may not be added or replaced in the
Connexion Authority File immediately. You may get the message: The record was replaced (or added) in the OCLC
Authority File, but an error occurred when replacing (or adding) it in the
Connexion Authority File.
Therefore, if you
normally control headings during your Connexion workflow, any new authority
records that you have added may be unavailable for controlling headings
on bibliographic records. Authority records that you have replaced
may still be used to control headings.
All Connexion authority
updates should be applied once processing commences. You will
be informed about updating progress on Monday morning. If you have any questions,
please let me know. Thank you for your patience,
Susan
