[yul-naco] NACO Independence Guidelines approved

[Manon Theroux]

Dear NACO catalogers,

The NACO Coordinating Committee has officially 
signed off on our local Yale guidelines for 
granting independence to individual NACO 
catalogers. The committee made two changes to the 
draft guidelines that were distributed to the list for comment in March:

1) The math in the example used in the 
Quantitative Standards section has been corrected 
(a 10% error rate means 54 out of 60 records must be of acceptable quality)

2) The presence of an incorrect subfield in 
fields 640 and 641 was made a major error (to be 
consistent with the other 64X fields)

The final version of the guidelines are here:

A link has also been added to the NACO section of 
the Authority Control at Yale page:

Let me know if you have any questions.

-Manon
