Is a NACO library contractually bound to stay in the PCC or is it possible to withdraw?
No, there is no contractual bond, but we think that the cooperative spirit that sparked the interest in joining the PCC in the first place will win the day. Once a library has been trained, the participant is expected to contribute records and work towards independence within a one-year provisional period. However, if circumstances prevent a library from reaching independence or contributing sufficient records to the program, the Cooperative Cataloging Team is available to help that library work out a solution so the cooperative cataloging community does not lose a valuable partner.
