Can I assume that OCLC still wants NACO participants to report OCLC
bib. records that are affected by NEW headings that are added to the
NAF? I have often established new headings, often with birthdates, and
have sent in reports to OCLC letting them know about bib. records that
have entries for the person without the dates. (I only establish the
name with a date when there is at least one bib. record in WorldCat that
already has the birthdate present).
