Richard, I agree, NACO@LC wants the information to be clear but I have never seen an official template. Carl’s templates fit the bill. See the ones I use below, same idea. Mary Jane Cuneo Serials cataloging and NACO Information and Technical Services Harvard Library Hello NACO at LC, Please delete 010 = Entity is the same as 010 = BFM: Hello NACO at LC, One of our catalogers has established the new NAR: 010 = which means these records need BFM in loc.gov: 010 = From: Program for Cooperative Cataloging [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Horne, Carl Stanley Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2017 2:05 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Templates for NACO BFM reporting Richard, I have never seen strictly prescribed formats for reporting BFM, etc., to LC. I use something like this Hello NACO, Just one new authority record: no2015-100234 78-535227 75-585118 to report BFM. (I find it easier to proofread the numbers in the message when I insert the dashes.) When reporting duplicate authority records, I do it this way: Hello NACO, Please delete no2004-699992 ; it duplicates no2004-700003 Please delete no97-32009 ; it duplicates no93-10724. I think the main thing is for the information to be very clear. If the folks at LC prefer something different, I haven’t ‘gotten the message’.

I gather that these are made according to a rather strict form.
