How does authority control work in today’s library discovery environments? When name and subject authorities are centralized, what room does that leave for your library’s mission-driven metadata efforts? At Backstage, we believe that authority control is at its best when a mix of diverse thesauri are used in conjunction with local choices for significant and sensitive terms in your library’s own authority file.
In this webinar, Casey Cheney, vice president of automation services at Backstage, explores the why and how of authority control, and guides you through options for maintaining control while optimizing search in your catalog.
