During the quality review period, new authority records are entered by the cataloger or NACO Coordinator into the bibliographic utility's Save or Review file. NACO Coordinator prints out all records in Save or Review by accessing each account, and reviews them. After all records are reviewed by the NACO Coordinator, a list of record numbers is sent to the Coop Cat liaison via e-mail, who reviews each record. Coop Cat liaison notifies NACO Coordinator of any corrections which need to be made.
Records normally appear in one to two days on the bibliographic utilities.
It is also possible for catalogers to fill in worksheets and send them to the NACO Coordinator, who then inputs all records online. It is up to each NACO Coordinator to determine the most efficient system for the project. Remember that for languages requiring surrogates, the institution must mail or fax the relevant pages to the Coop Cat liaison. Records for which there are questions for LC staff are handled in a separate stream. Independent Status is granted to the project after a formal quality review is conducted by Coop Cat.
