BnF authority records on the Web
The Bibliothèque nationale de France offers a new service on its Web site:
searching its authority records and RAMEAU subject headings. This tool will be
useful to librarians for easier cataloguing - as well as to researchers wanting
to start and conduct their bibliographic researches most efficiently.
This service is on free access in the "Informations pour les professionnels"
section and on the RAMEAU site.
This implement allows direct access, without searching the catalogue, to all of
the BnF authority records files: personal and corporate names, and uniform
titles records (created when cataloguing printed documents that entered the
library collections since 1970) and also records of the national RAMEAU subject
authority list.
Another interface, with specific functions, allows - through direct access to
the RAMEAU site - searching either the whole RAMEAU subject authority list or,
as search limits, some of its sub-sections, including subdivisions, LCSH
equivalents and domains.
Records can be displayed in public, UNIMARC or INTERMARC format.
Records, searched through this implement, can be saved in local systems from the
CD-ROM Les notices d'autorité des imprimés de BN-OPALE PLUS.
A full description of authority records and their development is also available
in the "Informations pour les professionnels" section and on the RAMEAU Web
site.
