[yul-naco] RLIN21 NACO accounts going away

[Patricia Thurston]

Hello All.

Now that we've all had training in the Connexion Client for NACO 
direct data input, I have been asked to delete most of the RLG NACO 
accounts. I wanted to send a note of reassurance, and a reminder 
before I actually hit the send button to RLG.

The following accounts will remain ACTIVE:
Near East Asian NACO
Hebraica NACO
East Asian NACO
One maintenance account
Theses accounts will remain active until all non-Roman cataloging 
activities completely migrate to OCLC. The non-Roman script folks 
will continue to be able to create NACO records directly in RLIN, as 
well as do any clean-up.

I will send the request to delete all other RLG RLIN NACO accounts 
later today. It might take RLG a day, or two, to delete all of these 
accounts. As of today, we will definitely need to be using OCLC 
Connexion for all our NACO work (except Near East, Hebraica, East Asia).

Reassurance and Reminder: We can still search the authority file 
through our regular RLIN 21 search/export accounts. We just won't be 
able to do any maintenance on those authority records; nor will we be 
able to add new records using the search/export accounts.

Please feel free to direct any NACO processing or policy questions to 
Manon or Joan.
Please feel free to direct any technical questions to me.
