MOTSE: Authority Control 

 

This MOTSE session offers a full day of intermediate-level presentation,
discussion, and practice in authority control.  

 

Topics covered include:

*	Multiple goals of authority control 

*	Rules governing authority control practice 

*	MARC21 authority record format 

*	Rules and conventions of name, subject, series, and work authority
control 

*	System implementation 

*	Current issues in authority control

The session will provide participants with a thorough overview of the
principles and techniques of library authority control.  Ideally
participants should be familiar with the content of the MOTSE Access
session, which focuses specifically on selecting bibliographic entry terms
and formulating headings for access.  The MOTSE Authority Control session
focuses on how headings and references are implemented using automated
authority control systems, not on AACR2 rules for constructing headings.

 
This course was prepared under the auspices of Minnesota Opportunities for
Technical Services Excellence (MOTSE), a program offering the library
community throughout Minnesota continuing education opportunities in the
form of workshops and self-assessment guides covering the basics of library
technical services, with support from the MN Library Services Agency and
LSTA funds.
 
Prerequisites:  Catalogers should have a basic knowledge of AACR2 cataloging
rules and the MARC format.

NOTE: The April 24, 2006 instance of this session is limited to MN
librarians because it is supported by the MN Library Services Agency and
LSTA grant funds.  If you are interested in sponsoring this session
