[yul-naco] Fwd: URLs in Name Authority Records

[Manon Theroux]

More from LC on the new option to add URLs in $u 
in authority record 670 fields. Note that the new 
instructions are on p. 5 of the 670 section 
(which equals p. 100 of the overall document).

This is the very same information that is in 
Cataloger's Desktop, so no need to print out this 
document unless you really want to maintain a separate print copy.
