- 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 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.
