Title

Research and theoretical considerations in authority control

Source

Cataloging and classification quarterly. 9(1989) no.3, S.29-56

Year

1989

Abstract

Research and recent "theoretical" discussions of authority control are synthesized and organized into the following groups: general overviews; need for research; need for unique access points for names; need for authority control outside traditional library catalogs; reference structure for names and its relationship to users' needs; authority control for works; authority control for subjects; need for authority files; and, technological considerations. Conclusions are drawn about the need for research in the area of file design.
