RMC cataloging staff participate fully in the NACO program. When cataloging new acquisitions, we contribute RDA authority records for names if they are considered significant and in need of formal authority control. NACO records are created in Voyager, reviewed, and subsequently uploaded to OCLC through the usual LTS process (see LTS Procedure #134)OCLC by catalogers who have formal NACO training.
