Hi everyone, The CP Section (Coop) is a little behind in processing BFM related to 1XX authority changes. We realize that causes some frustration for users of the NACO authority file and associated bibliographic files. I just returned from a meeting where the BFM processing delay was addressed and some helpful suggestions for improvement were discussed. I am optimistic that the current processing lag time will lessen in the future.

Since we don’t have to report BFM for changes to 1XX, I just take it for granted that LC will get a report of the change and eventually get around to the BFM. We make it a point to change the access points in OCLC, however, as not infrequently they either are not controlled or the controlling software doesn’t work and flip the heading.
