Cornell does keep track of NACO statistics for internal purposes.  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.  A designated worker in Delivery and Metadata Management Services empties the bin at the end of each month and then counts the categories—numbers of original records and numbers of updates.  Law catalogers report via e-mail.  All these numbers are entered into an LTS spreadsheet available in the LTS - > "Batch_ Processing" folder, - > "BIBCO-NACO stats" file on the shared LTS X drive.  Any delete requests or printouts marked “BFM” are passed on to the NACO coordinator, who e-mails a list at 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 http://lts.library.cornell.edu/lts/pp/aut/95nacosaco
