At LSU we have two independent NACO contributors whom submit without
review, and we have one cataloger who is in training and his work is
reviewed by me (dept. head and one of the independent contributors).
Once he has obtained independent status he will submit without review.

Subject: Review of NACO contributions
Penn State is re-evaluating its procedures for contributing Name
Authority Records through NACO. We would like to know whether your
institution has a policy that every NAR is checked by someone other
than the cataloger who created the record before it is
contributed. If so, do you feel that this level of quality control
is justified in terms of the errors identified?
