This listserv is dedicated to the sharing of topical
and technical expertise among catalogers of Hebraica and
Judaica. At present, subscription is
restricted to participants in the Name
Authority Cooperative
Project (NACO)
of the Library of Congress; we hope it will eventually
expand to include other Hebraica/Judaica catalogers worldwide.
In addition to providing a forum for discussion of the
technical aspects of cataloging using AACR2rev, the LC
Rule Interpretations, and Library of Congress Subject Headings, the
list offers access to LC's
Cataloging Policy and Support Office (CPSO).
Information regarding LC's policies and practices provided via
this list is intended to supplement, not replace, access
through subscribers' NACO liaisons
at their respective institutions, or consultation of
CPSO via Internet. Queries
from HEB-NACO, however,
will benefit from on-the-spot negotiation by the
list's liaison to CPSO, a cataloger
on LC's Hebraica Team.
