AUTHORITY CONTROL
What You Need to Know to do it Yourself
Dana Kemp (Mercer University)
Beth Taylor (Univ. of Mich.-Dearborn)
Barbara Kriigel (Univ. of Mich.-Dearborn)
Agenda
III headings reports including Automated Authority Control Processing [break]
Maintaining subject headings with LC Weekly lists
Enhancing database using III reports
Mercer University
300,000 bibliographic records 150,000 authority records Do authority work for 20,000 titles a year Use Marcive for Government Documents 1 professional cataloger, 2 cataloging
assistants
University of Michigan--Dearborn
215,000 bibliographic records 98,000 authority records 4,500 titles cataloged annually 2.25 FTE professional catalogers
Using III Authority Reports
Decisions How often to print (or view online)
Mercer prints daily, UMD prints weekly Whether or not to exclude records without a Cat Date
in the bib record If full record is downloaded at time of order, do not
exclude Cat Date Whether to limit any reports What fields to include in duplicate field report
Call number, ISBN/ISSN, OCLC #, barcode
Headings are Checked When:
Record is downloaded Title is changed Heading is added, deleted or modified Record is suppressed or unsuppressed by
using BCODE3 field in bib record Bib record is deleted Cat date is added to bib record

OCLC Searching Tips
Many subject headings with free-floating subdivisions have been established by LC with cross references
May need to search multiple OCLC indexes Example: Shakespeare is in both name and
subject indexes Corporate author, uniform title, personal name,
subject, conference
OCLC Downloading Tips
Interactive downloading Authority records for 100, 110, 111 or 130
headings automatically index as author or title when authority record is needed for the subject
index, specify load table choice before exporting
Watch authority records with mixed tags (150 with 400 and 500 xrefs)
OCLC Downloading Tips (con’t)
Batch downloading Choose correct downloading table in III No need to copy authority records No problem with mixed tags
Mixed Tags
150 0 Holy Cross
400 00 Jesus Christ|xCross
450 0 Cross
500 00 Jesus Christ|xCrucifixion
500 00 Jesus Christ|xRelics
550 0 Feast of the Cross
Jesus Christ will be indexed as an author rather than a subject because it is a x00 field
View with Innopac Tags
In database maintenance, type an asterisk (*) to see Innopac tags
SUBJ AUTH Holy Cross
NAME S FRM Jesus Christ Cross
NAME SA FRM Jesus Christ Crucifixion
NAME SA FRM Jesus Christ Relics
SUBJ S FRM Cross
SUBJ SA FRM Feast of the Cross
To Avoid problems with Mixed Tags Check tags before exporting from OCLC Insert a command line (949) at the end of the
authority record with mixed tags Specify which “authority record load table” you
wish to use *atab=asub (for subjects) *atab=anam (for names)
Can also be used when you want to use a name as a subject

dramatic impact on access and browsability of headings in OPAC
Aged--United States--Abuse of (Old Hdg)
Aged--Abuse of--United States (New Hdg)
Correcting Subdivision Placement
Search subdivision as subject heading in global update and correct headings OR create a list and correct headings from list
Manually update “Free-Floating Subdivisions” and “Subject Cataloging Manual” to indicate MSG (May Subd Geog) for future reference
ALWAYS check incoming entries with geographic subdivisions on “Headings Used for First Time” report for accurate placement. Verify in “Free-Floating Subdivisions”
Updating Headings (Tips) Automatic Authority Control Processing
Use when many titles are attached to heading and subdivisions
Use when MARC tag is changing
651 0 United States|xConstitutional history (old)
650 0 Constitutional history|zUnited States (new)
Be sure old heading is listed as 4xx on new authority record or processing will NOT occur
Updating Headings (con’t)
Global Update Use when many titles are attached to heading Use only when MARC tag stays the same Change only bibliographic records, not
authority record Use for changing subdivision placement
Updating Headings (con’t) Catalog Database Maintenance Update
Use when there are only a few titles attached to heading
Use to update authority records after verifying change in weekly list or OCLC, especially for cancelled/replaced headings which exist as 5xx cross references
Use when MARC tag is changing, i.e. 650 to 651 and there are not many bib records
Use block and paste functions when appropriate
Updating Headings (con’t) Create a List and Update from List
Use if change is not one-for-one and requires decision
Heroines (old)
Heroines in literature (new)
Women heroes (new)
Updating Headings (con’t) LC occasionally does not list old heading as a
4xx [Earlier form of heading] Automatic authority control processing will not
update bib records if old 4xx is not present
