>The current plan, which is subject to

>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

>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.  If the user attempts to add a record 
> from either the online or local save file, 
> other error messages may be presented.
>    * Connexion browser will return the 
> messages  "Add failed " or  "Replace failed " , 
> depending on the action selected by the user.
>Should any type of error message be returned, 
>the user can choose to save the record to the 
>online or local save file, or cancel changes.
