- Abstract
- Argues that the efforts to achieve authority control in online catalogues are both misguided and counterproductive. Contrasts the characteristics of manual and online catalogues, demonstrating that although authority control may be beneficial in a traditional, manually produced catalogue, it is of little or no value in the online environment. Suggests that in future authority control may be dispensed with, thus releasing professional library staff from routine cataloguing tasks and leading to a greater integration of library services
