Guidelines for Starting a PCC Funnel Project (or Adding New Libraries
to an existing PCC Funnel)
Before starting a funnel project or adding new libraries to an
existing funnel project Funnel Coordinators should remember to do
the following:
- At least 2 months before the training send a list of libraries which are
becoming members to the Cooperative Cataloging
Team including the institution's MARC 21 identification code (formerly
NUC code) to enable the gathering of funnel statistics for individual
participants. A NACO candidate library or unit within a library lacking a
MARC 21 organization code can apply online by visiting the MARC Standards
and Network Development's website
How
to request new codes page.
- Have the individual library funnel participants fill in the
NACO Application Form available on the NACO
Homepage and submit it via the Web.
- At least six weeks before training, each library must request NACO
authorization(s) from OCLC by submitting the
online OCLC Access & Authorization form. For instructions on completing this form refer to
Luanne Goodson's letter.
When a funnel coordinator notifies the Coop Team that a new library is being added to the funnel project, LC notifies OCLC of their NACO eligibility. Each individual library is responsible for filing the request form. Once the online form has been submitted, OCLC will respond within 10 business days. If you receive no confirmation or need to consult with OCLC about the authorization request, please contact:
Luanne Goodson
OCLC Quality Control Section
Phone: 800.848.5878 x5274
- At least one month before the training contact the Coop team (or the
funnel Coop liaison) for access to online training documentation and
instructions for its preparation.
- Be aware of the responsibilities of a Funnel
Coordinator and how these differ from regular NACO participation.
