Overcat is responding with

There was an error connecting to this datasource.
Search took 10.3462 seconds
Page rendered in 10.356 seconds

Hmm. OverCat worked for ISBNs already in LT.

It was probably working based on cached data. I'll ping ccatalfo about this, thanks!

Thanks - ccatalfo tried a fix around 11:30am (ET), going to see if that helped now.

Seems okay now? 2 of the 3 ISBNs above weren't found in Overcat, but it did find the other.

I wouldn't expect them to be found, just not to get that particular error message.

>7 MarthaJeanne: Yep, just checking that you got the same result now. Going to mark this as fixed, but please reopen if needed.

I bought another new book in German today. As usual it wasn't in LT yet, and OverCat gave me the usual message that it didn't find it, but none of this 'error connecting' stuff, so I agree that this has been fixed.

(Both my library and my bookstore have new book tables that I check out several times a month, so I am very often entering the first copy of a German nonfiction book.)
