----------------------------------------------------------
Starting at approximately
8 p.m., EST, on Friday, April 22 , OCLC will start 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 until an announcement is made after
the maintenance processes are completed. We anticipate the processes to
complete late Sunday evening, EST.
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 regret any inconvience
this may cause for NACO participants.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or
concerns,
--Becky
