Hot & Heavy Library Action

So here I sit editing and fact-checking the transcript of an oral history interview. I go to look up the proper forms of a few names, and — “All available connections to Library of Congress Authorities are currently in use. Please try again in a few minutes.”

Must be something I don’t know about. Maybe horny guys on oil rigs are looking for porn.
