Also, my sincere
apologies to all the NACO participants for not sending a notification message
this past week informing that the system was available.
Following this coming weekend's maintenance, please assume normal activities can
be resumed, and if the processes have not been completed, I will post updates
and alerts to the appropriate listservs.
---------------------------------------------
Starting at approximately 8 p.m., EST, on Friday, April
29 , OCLC
will continue a maintenance process
resulting in newly added and revised authority records being irretrievable via
Connexion (both the browser and client).
This includes
not only records contributed by OCLC NACO participants, but all new and replaced
authority records distributed by the Library of Congress.
To ensure
that no duplicate records are added, OCLC is requesting that all OCLC NACO
participants refrain from adding any new records or revising any existing
records. We anticipate the processes to complete late Sunday evening,
EST. If the processes have not been
completed, I will post updates and alerts to the appropriate
listservs.
If authority records are added or revised during
that timeframe, they will not be lost, however, they will not be able to be
retrieved and used for controlling until the maintenance process is
completed.
We sincerely
regret the inconvenience for NACO
participants.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or
concerns,
--Becky Dean
