- Abstract
- Student and faculty need for improved access to the library's holdings is the most important, perhaps only, justifiable argument for authority control in the OPAC. Cost, especially in small colleges, is unavoidably a limiting factor. AutoCat authority control, developed at Dickinson College Library, Pennsylvania, enhances student ability to find and select materials. At the same time, it avoides the intial costs of vendor cleanup and Library of Congress authority tapes. Further, it significantly reduces the labour involved in creating, linking, and updating authority records
