CJK NACO Training Invitation

Monday - Wednesday, June 25-27, 2007

Trainers include the CJK NACO Project Coordinator and experienced NACO trainers from LC.  

CJK NACO Project was established in November 2006.  The Project intends to serve as a means to share experience and expertise among the participants, especially among those working with relatively small CJK collections, and to achieve a common goal of providing quality and quantity CJK name authority and bibliographical records in a large shared database. 
 
Requirements:
1.	Participation is open to CJK catalogers from NACO member institutions and to catalogers whose institutions will become funnel members of the new PCC CJK NACO Project.  Information about NACO membership and funnel projects may be found at:
http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/naco/  
2.	Each institution will be responsible for its participants' travel and accommodation costs.  However, there is no fee for the class itself.
