Kia ora
At the National Library of New Zealand we've noticed that the Library of Congress catalogue etc is no longer available :-(
http://www.loc.gov/home2/shutdown-message.html
Due to the temporary shutdown of the federal government, the Library of Congress is closed to the public and researchers beginning October 1, 2013 until further notice.
All public events are cancelled and web sites are inaccessible except the legislative information sites THOMAS.gov and beta.congress.gov.
However, the Marc standards are still accessible through a mirror site - see email below forwarded from Autocat
Cheers
Catherine

FYI, Code4Lib to the rescue (as seen on that mailing list).

Hopefully these won't be necessary for long, or at all :/
