What exactly are the requirements to join BIBCO?
Besides being an independent NACO library • New participants are asked to attend a training class (usually 2-3 days) held at their own institution.

There is no equivalent requirement for RLG members. Back to Questions • Our library does not contribute series to NACO, is it required to take the series training before joining BIBCO?
