    <pre> Hello, We recommend that users include variety of sources in their creator file, including ULAN and others. Most institutions f nd that no one source fills all their needs; they must have the ability to add new artists to their local file. ULAN ha
     been a contributor to NACO; however, we have only contributed a small percentage of our artists to NACO, due to the tim
     and effort involved in the contribution process. In short: There is some overlap.

    After a hiatus during which we have restructured our data and built a new editiorial system, ULAN will again accept cont ibutions from selected contributors in the Fall. It will thus grow signficantly. You may learn more about the ULAN and a cess our online "browser" at http://www.getty.edu/research/tools/vocabulary/. You may find out about the terms of licens ng by writing to Eileen Kawas, mailto:ekawas@getty.edu .

Our metadata committee recently raised questions about whether there are people who were both artists and authors and might be in both files. Does anyone know how much cross-over there is, and whether the editors of two authority files consult each other when establishing a new record?

    Thanks.
