titlePolicies & decisions

Creating and/or editing national-level authority records is generally the work of LAIV original cataloging staff and catalog librarians. The ability to contribute to MSUL's authority work is also contingent on completion of the appropriate PCC training. 

All newly created and edited national authority records are reviewed by the MSUL's NACO coordinator as a final quality check before submission to the Library of Congress authority file. MSUL's current NACO coordinator is Lucas Mak. 

Vendor-provided authority control processes are facilitated by the Metadata Management unit. Questions about local authority records should be directed to that unit.
