## NACO Administration

- What Happens After NACO Training?

## NACO Review Phase

- Following NACO training, libraries enter the review phase (a few months)
- All records are reviewed before being contributed to the utility database, and on to the NACO database

## Basic Review Workflow

- Cataloger creates a record
- Local NACO Contact is the first set of eyes to check the record
- NACO Contact sends email to reviewer about records
- Reviewer sends back comments
- Cataloger revises and contributes records to utility

## Review in the Utilities

- OCLC and RLIN have system changes in 2004
- OCLC
- _[http://www.oclc.org/support/training/connexion/default.htm](http://www.oclc.org/support/training/connexion/default.htm)_
- RLIN21
- _[http://www.rlg.org/en/page.php?Page_ID=386](http://www.rlg.org/en/page.php?Page_ID=386)_
- Find the correct workflow for your reviewer

## Connexion Authority Documentation

- OCLC Connexion browser authority documentation located at:
- Connexion browser documentation [OCLC - Support]
- http://www.oclc.org/support/documentation/connexion/browser/default.htm

## OCLC Interfaces	

- Passport and the national review file-- will be phased out soon; review is command-based within OCLC in 952 fields
- CatME-- will be phased out in the future; review by emailing electronic files of records, comments
- Connexion-- new interface in 2004; records viewed in save file, comments sent by email; available in browser and client versions

## Passport Review Commands

- Local save file—regional reviewers use INST command to review here, or, library sends records to LC reviewer (sub)
- National review file—LC staff review records here (cho af, si sb) and return to contributors (res)
- Respond file—Library views returned records (si rs, s) and contributes them (add, replace)

## CatME Review

- Submit to LC, or
- Change settings to Print to electronic file
- Email file of records to Regional Reviewer
- Reviewer responds via email
- Revise records and Add or Replace

## Connexion Browser Review

- Save record in Save file
- Designate libraries who may review your records in your Save file
- Email LC or Regional reviewer of records to be checked
- Follow email comments to revise
- Add or Replace records in database

- http://www.oclc.org/connexion/

## Send Lots of Records

- But—in reasonable batches!
- Fix one batch before sending the next; learn from your early mistakes
- Try the difficult stuff during review period
- Send new and changed NARs
- Report BFM and read guidelines

## Make the Reviewer’s Life Easier

- Don’t overload any one email message
- Group like delete and BFM requests
- Add 952 notes to alert reviewer on some issue—to be deleted when adding
- Send complex queries separately
- Alert your reviewer by email when records are ready for review

## Non-Roman Surrogates

- JACKPHY and non-roman languages can be reviewed by language specialist, at LC if necessary
- Please fax records and surrogate pages from item to reviewer
- LC Coop Team fax is 202-252-2082

## Gaining NACO Independence

- After initial review, more formal review has independence as a goal
- Send records representing type and volume that will be contributed regularly
- Aim for no more than 10% error rate in areas that affect access (headings, refs, fixed field codes, justification of names)

## Stages of Independence

- Independence for personal names is first, usually for Western languages
- Independence for corporate, conference, geographic, uniform titles is combined in second stage: full NACO independence
- Consider requesting review for independence for non-roman languages

## Quality Control is Local

- Independent libraries assume responsibility for quality control
- Independent libraries may still contact their designated LC liaison for queries, cancellations, and BFM

## 24 Hour Rule

- Any record that’s been in a save or review file for over 24 hours must have 1XX and 4XX searched before contribution!
- Keep work current—no backlogs in save file

## Maintain Continuity

- One local NACO Contact, with one backup, handles internal review, training, BFM, etc. to promote NACO program
- Please report staff or address changes for:
- Library Director
- Administrator (Head of Cat/Tech Svs)
- NACO Contact and/or NACO Backup
