On Good Authority: Naco Participation At The University Of Southern Mississippi, Kathleen L. Wells

The Southeastern Librarian

Since joining the program in November 2001, catalogers at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) Libraries have found that many rewards and few drawbacks come with NACO membership.
