Title

Authority work for transitional catalogs

Abstract

Archivists, like all other perpetrators of catalogs, are grappling with the role of authority control and the nature of authority work. The primary objective of authority work in transitional archival catalogs is to balance the headings management aspect of more traditional authority work with the historical/contextuaI aspect of enhanced authority work. Conformance with the standard requirements of headings management is necessary if archival materials are to collocate with other types of material in integrated catalogs. Techniques for archival headings management are described. Two additional objectives are to avoid duplication of work by sharing the results, and to foster the development of information systems that use the expensive authority work to support access.
