This message is to alert OCLC users of planned system maintenance over the 
days March 23-25, 2007, which will impact all OCLC-NACO users.



The current plan, which is subject to modification, is to disable the 
ability for NACO users to add and/or update authority records using the 
OCLC Connexion interfaces starting at approximately 9 p.m. Eastern Daylight 
Time (EDT) on March 23.

The capability to add and/or update authority records will be re-instated 
at approximately 9 p.m. EDT on March 25.



During that time, OCLC will also suspend the loading of distributed 
authority records from the Library of Congress, but will continue to 
retrieve contribution files.



During the outage, users will continue to be able to:
    * search and browse the LC Names and Subjects authority files,
    * search and browse the LC Names and Subjects history files,
    * create new authority records,
    * edit existing authority records,
    * lock existing authority records,
    * saving new and/or modified authority records to online and/or local 
files,
    * submit new and/or modified authority records for peer review,
    * control headings using existing records in the LC Names and/or 
Subjects authority files,
    * export authority records,
    * print authority records



Should a user attempt to add and/or replace a master authority record 
during the outage, a message will be displayed to the user:
    * Connexion client (1.60 or 1.70) will return the message "An error has 
occurred
" if either the Add record or Replace record is invoked,
    * Connexion browser will return the messages  "Add failed " 
or  "Replace failed " , depending on the action selected by the user.
Should this error be returned, the user can choose to save the record to 
the online or local save file, or cancel changes.





As plans for this scheduled maintenance continue to evolve, updates will be 
posted to various listservs including OCLC-Cat.



During the period of outage, a system alerts message will be posted as well.



Should you need additional information or assistance, please feel free to 
contact me directly.



Thank you,

--Becky Dean
