This book represents one part of the continued development and expansion of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records. It contains a further analysis of the characteristics of various entities which are in the focus of standard data (persons, families, corporate bodies, work, expression, manifestation, item, concept, object, event and place), the definitions under which these entities are known and the standard search entries which the cataloguers create for these entities.

The purpose of authority control is to ensure consistency in representing a value - a name of a person, a place name, or a term or code representing a subject - in the elements used as access points in information retrieval. The primary purpose of this study is to produce a framework that will provide a clearly stated and commonly shared understanding of what the subject authority data/record/file aims to provide information about, and the expectation of what such data should achieve in terms of answering user needs.

The UNIMARC Authorities Format was designed in the early 1990's to allow the creation of authority and reference records for the management of controlled access points in a bibliographic database. Incorporated in this work is relevant information from other IFLA working groups and from UNIMARC users. It is published under the auspices of the IFLA Cataloguing Section. This is the 3rd, completely updated and enlarged edition.

Authority work is the linchpin of the library catalog. As the author puts it, ''Without authority control, the burden is placed on the user to think of all the possible forms a cataloger might have used to give access in the catalog to a given author or subject.'' If a subject is not sorted by its authorized heading, then the library and its users and staff are left without a system and ultimately the cost of an unsatisfied user. From one of the preeminent experts in the field, this is the step-by-step guide for ensuring that your library and staff are creating and maintaining authority record
