[yul-naco] NACO distribution problems

[Griem, Rowena]

Hello All,

NACO records created or revised in the last 2 ½ weeks are still stuck “In distribution.”

Until the issue is resolved, please search https://authorities.loc.gov/ to access the most current authority file. When creating/revising NARs, please keep a record of any tasks that need to be performed once the records are unlocked

Best,

Rowena Griem

Subject: [PCCLIST] update re: NACO distribution problems

Dear PCC colleagues,

As stated on March 1st, there continues to be a disruption in the flow of name authority records from the Library of Congress, which began on Feb. 17th. LC continues to work on this problem as a high priority, and communication with the NACO nodes occurs daily.

All NACO records are available in the master file, which means that the current records are all viewable at authorities.loc.gov. Please use this as your first resource in searching.

NOTE that the subject authority records have also not been loaded properly, due to a related problem, which means that the most recent subject authority records will not show up in authorities.loc.gov. Classification Web is, as always, the authoritative source for whether or not a subject heading is authorized for use.

We apologize for the disruption in this workflow, and are working hard to resolve it as fast as possible.
