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.
  • The creation of local authority records is discouraged. Questions about local authority records for special cases should be directed to the Metadata Management unit.
