<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m pleased to announce that Gabby Redwine, Catalog/Metadata Librarian, has fulfilled the criteria to achieve NACO independence for personal names. Over the past two years, Gabby has created authority records for people named in both published
and unpublished materials, including several groups of related people, artists, teachers, ship captains, and a (fictional) superhero. In addition to establishing a strong understanding of RDA and NACO guidance, she demonstrated an ability to recognize records
that could benefit from additional information and also caught some duplicate records.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please join me in congratulating Gabby!<o:p></o:p></p>
