Abstract

In 1992, Hofstra University began a project to convert the manual series authority file to an online authority file. The project consisted of three stages. In the first stage, the online catalog was searched for series authority records downloaded into the database in 1987 when it was initially prepared for the online catalog. In the second stage, either OCLC series authority records or locally created records were transferred into the online catalog. The third stage, which is still ongoing, consists of editing series tracings in bibliographic records to conform to the series authority records. The article discusses the project's methodology and assesses its benefits.
