Prior to December 2019, Cornell kept track of NACO statistics for internal purposes by means of old-fashioned printouts. These printout are used useful for review but are no longer the source of the numbers reported to PCC. The only printouts required are those for delete requests or BFM.
Throughout the month, LTS catalogers place printouts of all their original and updated authority records in the bins (one for regular LTS, one for Music) outside the Head of Cataloging’s office. The NACO coordinator gathers and reviews these monthly. Law catalogers report to the NACO coordinator via e-mail. All these numbers Numbers from the OCLC statistics portal are entered into an LTS spreadsheet available in the LTS - > "Batch_ Processing" folder, - > "BIBCO-NACO stats" file on the shared LTS X drive. LTS numbers are arrived at by subtracting Law and Music numbers from the total numbers. (Login information for the directory can also be found in this folder.) The NACO coordinator e-mails any delete requests/BFM to LC (naco@loc.gov), along with any other problems that have come up. Catalogers are free to report problems at any point in the month, but the NACO coordinator normally consolidates all our issues into this one monthly e-mail. A copy of the monthly NACO BFM/Delete report to LC is sent to any cataloger who reported a problem. For further information, see the LTS document on NACO/SACO Workflow.
