As previously announced, the Library of Congress and its major authority record exchange partners (British Library, Library and Archives Canada, National Library of Medicine, OCLC, Inc.) have agreed to a basic outline that will allow for the addition of non-Latin script references on name authority records distributed as part of the NACO program (no earlier than April 2008). Additional details about this project are contained in a White Paper drafted to frame many of the issues related to future policies for cataloger-added references to authority records that will follow an automatic pre-population of the authority records from relevant bibliographic data. The policies will be developed during a six month period following the automatic pre-population of the authority file. Members of the cataloging community are encouraged to review the White Paper and forward comments to the Cataloging Policy and Support Office (cpso@loc.gov)
