* Subject to authority: how to set up an authority file
12 May, LAHQ, London
The need for consistent description within a bibliographic record has
long been acknowledged and codified through structures like MARC and
AACR2 what is often less clear is how as cataloguers or systems
librarians we maintain the same quality of data when large numbers of
bibliographical records are brought together.
The flexibility for subject or name authority control offered by many
systems vendors now provide us with choices we may not be equipped to
evaluate and make selections appropriate to our users or clients.
How will this event help you?
This practical introductory workshop is designed for users to small to
medium sized automated systems who have to generate their own name and
subject authority structures and will help you bring your collections
under authority to keep bibliographic chaos at bay.
Who is the day aimed at?
It is an introductory day. If you are a member of a large bibliographic
utility, such as BLCMP, SLS etc this workshop is not for you.
