Here is some more information about LC Authorities on the Web:
>The Library of Congress is pleased to announce the pilot of a new
>feature, Web Authorities, that will provide access to LC authority data
>via the Web. LC will make this feature available on a trial basis
>beginning July 1, 2002. Name, subject, and title authority records,
>(including series authority records) will be available to search, display,
>and download at this address: http://authorities.loc.gov
> Due to the high volume of users in the LC Online Catalog, the Library
>of Congress currently limits simultaneous access to the LC Database in
>order to ensure system performance for public users and staff. These
>limits will also apply to users of the Web Authorities feature. The LC
>Online Catalog has proven so popular that it is often the case that all
>connections are in use between 10:00am and 2:00pm (Eastern Time), Monday
>through Friday. We are aware how frustrating this is for our users and we
>are working to increase the number of simultaneous external users.
