<span style="font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black;">With the transition to cataloging in OCLC Connexion after the Alma migration comes a good opportunity for us, NACO librarians, to explore the authority toolkit developed by Gary Strawn
and take advantage of this tool to assist with our NACO work. </span></p>
