2.6 NACO Training

As a NACO Program member our library “contribute[s] authority records for agents, places, works, and expressions to the LC/NACO Authority File” and commits “to support their staff through a process of training, review, and direct contributions of records to the LC/NACO Name Authority File”¹. To align our department’s authority work with established NACO standards and practices, training is provided individually as well as department-wide at various times and venues (e.g. one-on-one training sessions, week-long on-site trainings and department meetings).

Module 1: NACO Foundations

Module 4: Describing Corporate Bodies
Module 5: Describing Places
