Abstract

Before the implementation of NOTIS in January of 1988, all authority work at the Evans Library was recorded in an authority card file. Planning began early for the creation of an automated authority section. This section included a cataloger, staff from copy cataloging, and the now obsolete Card Catalog Maintenance Section. This diverse group presented a challenge because of their varying degrees of expertise. Areas of training that needed to be addressed included use of the OCLC and NOTIS systems and basic cataloging rules, especially as they apply to establishing names, subject headings, and series. Issues addressed included: staffing, equipment, materials, training, and procedures and policy decisions. The Library contracted with Blackwell, North America to convert the authority card file to machine readable form, giving the authority section its starting point. The section began training in March 1989 and became functional in July of that year. Even though the section continues to evolve, the original goals were met in the creation of a cohesive group with the basic knowledge and skills needed to transfer authority control from a manual to an automated environment.
