The following message concerns the OCLC Connexion client, as follow-up
to the OCLC-MARC Update 2011 installed on August 21. If you use only the
Connexion browser, you may ignore this message. Connexion browser users
have changes to the dropdown lists for fixed field elements available
for use immediately and all new indexes and new or changed language
qualifiers appear in search screen dropdown lists.

This message is being widely distributed. Please excuse any duplication.

If you use the Connexion client, beginning sometime after 12:00 noon
Eastern Daylight Savings Time on Tuesday, August 23, 2011, Connexion
client users will be prompted when they start the Connexion client
software to download new files that will include changes to the dropdown
lists for fixed field elements. The window with the prompt is labeled
"New Components Available." You may need Administrative Privileges on
your workstation to download the files to your
“C:\ProgramFiles\OCLC\Connexion\Program” directory (or its equivalent),
so it would be a good idea to check about that first.

When you get the prompt, click "Yes" to download the files immediately
or "Remind me later" if you do not wish to download right away. The
client does not send any confirmation of the download, however, you will
be prompted to download the files each time you open Connexion client
until you complete the download.

If you do not receive the prompt, shut down the Connexion client
completely, rather than just logging off. When you open the client
again, the prompt should appear.

If you do not receive the prompt to download, continue to receive the
prompt repeatedly, or have other problems downloading the new files,
please contact OCLC Customer Support and Training at 1-800-848-5800,
[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>, or
http://www.oclc.org/us/en/supportandtraining/. Product Support staff
will provide you with assistance, including the files to be downloaded
and instructions on manual downloads.

In Connexion client, new indexes and new or changed language qualifiers
will not appear in search screen dropdown lists, but may be input
manually via the command line. The search screen dropdown lists of
indexes and language qualifiers will be updated in a future version of
the Connexion client.
