Subject: Question: Query to LC Database not working

Hello,

Is anyone else trying to query the LC database through MarcEdit only to have
this message come back to you?

"Connection is currently unavailable: Connection could not be made to
z3950.loc.gov:7090"

I updated to MarcEdit 5.9, then selected the Z39.50/SRU Client. My databse
preference is set on the Library of Congress database and when so a search I
get a message that it is querying, but then there is a long pause, nothing
happens for a while and then I get the message listed above.

I thought since I am working late in the day that server is down, but I
checked the library of congress website and all seemed in working order.

I also did try another database INNOPAC oregon state to see if another
database worked and it did, but we do most of our work with querying the LC
database connection which seems to be broken.

Thanks,
