Hi Colleen and All,
Thanks for the great news about NACO.

Here are a few code suggestions inserted after the names. If you know of
commonly used abbreviations for these sources that fit the criteria of 8
or less letters and are not already used for another source, please send
them in.

Thanks and have a great day!
Jimmie

All of the NACO partners are now ready to deal with the 034 field in
authority records, so the Library of Congress is looking what is needed
to
test this data.  One area is codes for sources of data.  Below is a very
short list some sources for coordinates: I am looking for other
suggestions.  At this point, we are not worried about what the code will
be, just defining a source of data.  Please send any ideas you have to
the
list; hopefully this will give us a beginning set of codes.
