Conclusion If you have questions that your local trainer or institution’s NACO liaison cannot answer, the Library of Congress will be setting up a new account for questions related to series. These questions will be forwarded to a list of active PCC series catalogers for resolution. Look for announcement of the account on the PCC list. Once you are ready to begin contributing RDA series authority records, contact the same account to set up the review process associated with this Bridge Training. Thank you, and good luck! 12
