Forwarded on behalf of PCC
chair. Please excuse multiple postings.
The PCC welcomes a new NACO Node* member, SkyRiver
Technology Solutions. Name authority records contributed through SkyRiver
will carry the prefix “ns.” The Library of Congress has been
working with all NACO nodes to prepare for the new prefix in LC NACO Authority
File (LCNAF) records. The first NACO records from SkyRiver will enter the
shared database on November 17, 2010.
SkyRiver will use MARC organization codes as identifiers for
PCC partners who contribute through their service. SkyRiver’s own records
will appear under the MARC code CaEvSKY.
Please direct questions about this new node to SkyRiver Technology Solutions.
For information on NACO, please email: [log in to unmask].
*The Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) uses a File
Transfer Protocol (FTP) process to enable record exchanges among NACO partner
institutions. The Library of Congress and its “NACO Nodes” do
direct FTP exchanges. NACO libraries, numbering in the hundreds,
contribute records to the LC NACO Authority File via the NACO nodes.
