[DCRM-L] How the shutdown affects our work

This blog post from Amber Billey at the University of Vermont echoes the frustrations of many of us. Fortunately, a number of LC resources, such as the MARC formats and DCM, are available through Cataloger's Desktop, and the authority files in Connexion. Where I've felt the pinch in the last couple of days is the inaccessibility of Thesaurus of Graphic Materials and the LC catalog.

Thinking ahead: inaccessibility of LC resources may occur for any number of reasons aside from government shutdowns. What is the feasibility of setting up and maintaining satellite or mirror sites for web-based LC resources?
