Subject: OCLC System Problem & Duplicate NARs

NACO users on OCLC may have noticed a disruption to normal searching of =
online authority save files and the ability to add new name authorities =
to the database late this morning and early this afternoon.  I tried to =
contribute a new name authority record several times but received an =
error message.  The system now seems ok, but it turns out that every =
time I attempted to contribute the new authority record, it was actually =
contributed, even though it didn't appear to have been added.  This =
leaves me with five copies of my new authority record in the =
database--yikes!

So if you've experienced similar issues adding authorities today, you =
might want to check to see if this happened to you as well.  BTW, I've =
reported the duplicates to OCLC and LC.
