A Bird’s Eye View of Authority Control in Cataloging. A Bird's Eye View of Authority Control in Cataloging Karen Calhoun Cornell University Library I have to admit I had misgivings when the planning committee invited me to speak about authority control in cataloging to a conference involving the taxonomic community.
What in the world could I have to say that would be useful to you? I thought maybe the key to figuring that out was examining what it is about authority control that has kept me fascinated for over 15 years. So, after reflecting on that, annoying my friends by forcing them to tell me about taxonomy (nobody knew much), reading the proposal to the National Science Foundation for this workshop about six times,1 exploring some of your Web sites,2 and searching BIOSIS for abstracts of some of your papers, I came to the conclusion that I really do have something to say. Authority Tutorial. Standardized bibliographic data input, utilizing MARC formats, insures the integrity of the online public catalog in storage and retrieval of information.
Authority Tutorial. Standards for Archival Description: Chapter 6. Standards for Archival Description: A Handbook Home | Table of Contents It is safe to say that no other type of descriptive standard is currently receiving more attention nor undergoing greater change than are the various controlled vocabularies embodied in thesauri and other kinds of authority lists.

By their very nature authorities are dynamic, for to stay current and therefore truly useful they must receive constant scrutiny and revision.

This has resulted in equally dramatic innovation and change during the 1980s and early 1990s. Conference on Bibliographic Control in the New Millennium. Final version I won't repeat all the literature reviews (1) and list all of the articles on authority control of this past century, since we all have read them and discussed them.
I will instead focus attention on how the authority control performed by libraries can help the Web and suggest some next steps in making this tremendous resource of authority records available and used internationally. For over a quarter of a century we have been explaining within the library world the virtues of authority control in catalogs, bibliographies, finding aids, and other bibliographic lists to improve the precision of searches and to provide collocation. With the advent of the Internet, and the work of Dublin Core to involve non-library folks in the discussions, the word is out that the libraries may have something there.
The Web is chaotic. We could also have links on the Web to our catalogs from reference tools or online documents. Understanding MARC Authority Records: Parts 1 to 7.
