What are the costs involved in implementing/coordinating a funnel project?
The inherent costs are the time and effort required to organize and provide review of name authority records for the funnel members. In some cases members do not have access to OCLC and the coordinator agrees to input name authorities for members (not highly recommended, but sometimes necessary). NACO funnel costs include the time and resources to reproduce and mail documentation to the funnel members on a timely basis, including updates of the LCRIs or the DCM Z1 “yellow pages” supplement to the MARC 21 authority format.
