Title

British Library catalogues : out of control?

Source

Catalogue and index. 1993, no.107, S.1,3-5

Year

1993

Abstract

The British Library does not have a uniform system of authority control across its catalogues: for neither names, nor uniform titles nor subjects. Presents evidence to suggest that the BL's past, economic present and technological future all conspire against the wholesale- adoption of authority control in the traditional sense. Explains the crux of the dilemma of authority control within the BL and examines the implications of Michael Gorman's idea of linked packages of information, each covering a particular bibliographic facet of the item being catalogued, for the creation and allocation of access points
