- Abstract
- Auburn University name authority control has evolved from card revision to online control management. Since fall 1984, obsolete entries in the frozen public catalog have not been revised. All efforts now concern the building of an interactive online data and authority file system. Statistical information on the number of headings changed during the NOTIS period is presented as evidence in favor of electronic management of bibliographic files. Statistics presented concerning authority entries changed manually during the AACR2/pre-NOTIS age balance the picture. The statistics support the hypothesis that performing authority work online is quicker and more efficient than the manual performance of equivalent tasks. Online subject authority is also discussed, as is Auburn's implementation of the Merged Headings Index to date.
