titleOriginal Authority Record Policies
  • Catalogers are encouraged, but not required, to bring authority records into the catalog. Monthly authorities processing will supply needed authority records, but will only occur once a month.
  • Catalogers who do bring in a new authority record must report its LCCN to the Head of Metadata Authorities Management.

  • The MSU Libraries will follow PCC and CONSER practice, whenever possible.

  • 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.  MSULMSUL's current NACO coordinator is Lucas MakJoshua Barton.

  • Vendor-provided authority control processes are facilitated by the Metadata Authorities Management unit.
  • See the Authority Records Policy document. Questions about local authority records should be directed to the Head of Cataloging and the Head of Metadata Authorities Management.
