NACO workflow

Cataloger who has created a NAF gives printout with photocopy of t.p. used to establish the heading and the save number to Sue.

Sue looks over the NAF to see if she sees any problems.

Sue sends batch of 10 save numbers to Priscilla.

Priscilla lets Sue know when a record is approved for adding.

Sue passes Priscilla's OK on to the cataloger who created the record.

The cataloger who created the record searches the OCLC authority file one last time and then immediately after that final check, adds the authority record to OCLC.

They then xpo the new record into Notis.*

They change the fixed field code for NAME to "c" (and, if the name is also a subject, they change the fixed field code for SUBJ to a "c" also).

They add a 690 with their initials.

They count one "New/Original Authority Records" on the Authority stat sheet. (We will not count national level NAFs separately from local NAFs.)

*Exception: If a NACO authority record is created for a heading which is only in the QF partition of our database, we will not export the authority record into Notis.
