Al:
I might not apply to this, because the actual link to the NACO Series
Institute describes a situation in which we will get reviewed until we
achieve independent status. We are independent for series authority work,
thanks to Ana Salinas, but I never got the actual traning from
LC.
Read on:
"At the end of the course, participants will undergo review until
they reach independence for contributing series authority records to the
Library of Congress/NACO Authority File. Institutions with previous
graduates of the series institute are expected to perform review for the
new series trainees they send. In addition, Series Institute participant
graduates are encouraged to train colleagues in their home institutions
to contribute SARs."

Too bad. I thought it would like more like a refresher course or what
not.
