The UK NACO funnel is being activated.
Established through the MDG, this is an initiative to allow UK libraries to contribute directly to the Library of Congress Name Authority File, the dominant authority file for the English Speaking World and beyond.
A total of 4 institutions (University of Aberystwyth, University of Liverpool, Sheffield Hallam University and University of Leeds) are in the process of training to contribute (a fifth, University of Cardiff, are already expecting to join in the next round of training), and full activation and utility will proceed subsequent to the full establishment of the funnel and completion of training and registration. Please contact Martin Kelleher (martind@liverpool.ac.uk) for further details and expressions of interest to join.
