Title

Hurrah, we finally have authority control! : Now what?

Source

Colorado libraries. 23(1997) no.4, S.48-49

Year

1997

Abstract

During the 1990s online systems have become the norm in all but the smallest libraries. However, many library systems had no authority control model and libraries are now finding themselves facing automated authority control for the first time. Drawing on the experiences of the libraries at the University of Colorado at Boulder, the University of Northern Colorado and Texas A&M University, discusses the pre-conversion questions of creating an online authority file and choosing which authority records to load, and the post-conversion questions of handling authority work for ongoing cataloguing, dealing with error reports, and keeping up to date with headings changes
