Title

Keyword searching vs. authority control in an online catalog

Abstract

Presents the results of research carried out to discover whether or not the ability to search an online catalogue using keywords is a reasonably alternative to a built-in cross reference structure for variant forms. MARC records were checked against LoC authorities for references from non-preferred headings. All keywords in these references were then compared, and matched, when possible, with keywords in any MARC fields
