Dear NACO catalogers,<br><br>
Please do not create/update NACO records in RLIN21 next week until you
get the official "go-ahead" from me! That should happen
on:<br><br>
<font color="#FF0000">Wednesday June 1st<br><br>
</font>Although RLG has said they will allow NACO inputting in RLIN21
starting Tuesday May 31, we want to wait an extra day in order to test
our new profiles in a production environment (and do any last-minute
tweaking that might be necessary) before going "live".<br><br>
Also, please note that we will be implementing new NACO templates in
RLIN21. The NACO Coordinating Committee has recommended the following for
our authority record templates:<br><br>
<a href="http://www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/authorities/rlin21templates.htm" eudora="autourl">
http://www.library.yale.edu/cataloging/authorities/rlin21templates.htm<br>
<br>
</a>Although this web page shows the templates with MARC code
"CtY", rest assured that I will be preparing one set of
templates for each unit (so the code will be correct for everyone). Also,
remember that unused tags will be automatically deleted when you save
your authority record, so you don't have to worry about deleting the tags
that you don't need.<br><br>
I will be out on Thursday and Friday of this week.<br><br>
Let me know if you have any questions.<br><br>
-Manon<br>
