Principles of cataloging underlying authority control Benefits of authority control What is authority work? In-house administration and outsourcing 2 Basic Creation of Name and Title Authorities Module 1-2 Instructor Manual Module 1: Introduction Assumptions For this workshop we assume that: Catalogers use national standards: AACR2, LCRIs, and MARC 21 Catalogers are working in an online environment Library is not a NACO institution 3 Because they are the standards are the most widely used in the world this workshop assumes that catalogers use of AACR2R and the associated LCRIs as a content standard and MARC 21 authority records. This workshop also assumes you are creating authority records for use in an automated library system. It is important to note that, authority records can be created using other rules, and authority records can be created in non-MARC catalogs, and in both card files and on-line catalogs This workshop assumes that you are not going to be participating in NACO (the Name Authority Cooperative, through which libraries actually contribute authority records to the LC/NACO Authority File or NAF) We will give you fuller information about the NACO program towards the end of this series of workshops, in case your institution is interested in progressing to the next level of authority control and cooperative cataloging! The NACO program offers excellent training programs for those who want to participate in NACO. Basic Creation of Name and Title Authorities Module 1-3 Instructor Manual Module 1: Introduction Why do authority work? 4 Basic Creation of Name and Title Authorities Module 1-4 Instructor Manual Module 1: Introduction Need for authority work We need to do authority work because: There is no consistency present in materials cataloged Names and titles vary Names and titles change Headings that are not controlled present challenges to catalog users 5 Basic Creation of Name and Title Authorities Module 1-5 Instructor Manual Module 1: Introduction Need for authority work: names vary Different names in different publications: James R. Smith J.R. Smith Jim Smith Different names in same publication Title page: World Soybean Research Conference Cover: Soybean Research Conference Preface: Conference on World Soybean Research 6 As noted we do authority work because there is no consistency in materials we catalog. Name often vary, for example: There may be different names in different publications. For example James R. Smith sometimes publishes under the name J.R. Smith and sometimes under the name Jim Smith There may also be different names in the same publication. For example a conference has one name on the title page, another on the cover and yet another in the preface or body of the text of its proceedings Basic Creation of Name and Title Authorities Module 1-6 Instructor Manual Module 1: Introduction Need for authority work: titles vary One title on the title page and another on the cover Title page: Daisy Rabbit's tree house Cover: Story from the village of Sandy Edge One title on the cover and a different title in the running title Cover: Magna bibliotheca anglo-judaica Running title: Bibliotheca anglo-judaica Motion picture reissued under a different title Italian title: Ilaria Alpi, il piu crudele dei giorni English title: Cruelest day 7 Titles can vary as well.
