Jane, OCLC does have a system alert posted and is working on a solution.
With the exception of records with the copyright character or those titles that are timely, our catalogers have been instructed to hold off importing diacritic laden records (to prevent duplicates, we bring in records one at a time). While it is time consuming, I have asked that, for those titles they must import, they copy the diacritic from the Connexion Client and paste it into the record in MARC edit. It slows things down, but it does work. OCLC generally fixes problems quickly. Hopefully, they will get this one fixed today. Elaine J.
