I am chiming in on this a bit late because I have just switched jobs and
this is only Day Two at my new institution. I have moved from a library
which contributed to all PCC programs to a library which
currently contributes to NACO, SACO, and CONSER but has not yet been
trained to contribute BIBCO records. Getting us training in BIBCO and
having us become BIBCO participants is both my personal and an
institutional goal for this year.

I agree with Joan's assessment. As an individual trained in NACO and
BIBCO, a cataloging manager, and Chair of the PCC Standing Committee on
Training, I am far more comfortable with the idea of using the funnel
model for NACO contributions than I am  for BIBCO contributions. Both
require an institutional commitment but I think that BIBCO
requires a much stronger institutional commitment. BIBCO, particularly
Core, requires a buy-in to a new approach to cataloging. An individual
cannot be committed to the BIBCO principles effectively if his institution
is not supportive, in my opinion. All of us first work for the institution
that pays our salary and must satisfy local priorities first.
