[Evergreen-catalogers] Authority records

Thu May 31 14:27:05 EDT 2018

Thanks Janet,

How did bringing in new records work when you had modified the authority record?  Would you need to validate and pick the modified entry each time you brought in a new record that had the original correct entry?

We are still on an older version of evergreen that doesn’t have the 4xx and 5xx references in browse, but I just don’t see customers ever deciding to use browse over the basic search.

Hi Josh,

For CWMARS the browse search shows the cross-references. The 4xx fields display with a See reference to the term in the 1xx fields. The 5xx field creates See also references. As far as I know this only happens with browse searching and does not get included in advanced searches.

Before this was working I was editing the authority record (<gasp>) to include the alternate form of the name as a qualifier. The system updated all the headings linked to the authority record, some unlinked headings I edited manually. I preferred this to adding 700 fields or indexing the 245|c as it can be undone just as easily. It certainly stopped most complaints about the main entry not matching the name on the item.

Thus the main entry of Pelzer, David J. would look like Pelzer, David J. (Dave).

Even though we now have cross-references in browse I think patrons (and most staff) are still searching the author as a regular OPAC search.

Janet

Hello, we recently have had several questions from staff about customers not being able to find titles because the authorized form is different from what is on the cover/amazon.com<http://amazon.com>.

So I’m curious what the current method is for dealing with this?  Do you add 700 fields with the cover form?  Do you index the 245c as an added author?  Do you tell everyone to use the keyword search?

Examples:
Author search for “Pelzer, Dave” when the authorized form is “Pelzer, David J.”
Author search for “J. A. Jance” where the authorized form is “Jance, Judith A.”

I’m also curious if anyone knows of a plan to allow the 400 field data to be included in the non browse indices?  Does anyone have opinions on how it should work?  I’m toying with a quick script that just shoves the 400 data into the author index for linked personal name authorities.  But I’m not sure if that is the correct approach.

I'm hoping to be able to learn something from any answers you received. We just implemented authority (using MARCive) for the first time in our consortium, and unfortunately, I'm pretty lost at HOW it's supposed to work, because it's nothing like authority catalogs I've used in the past. At the Evergreen pre-conference, there's a whole morning workshop about authorities, so I'm hoping to learn a lot that day.

Good Morning,

My library is just getting started importing authority records.  My question is about searching.  Once we’ve imported an authority record for an author we are able to browse the catalog and it shows the See references, however when we do an author search from the advanced search for a variant name from the 400 field of the authority record, we don’t get any hits.  How do we get Evergreen to recognize the 400 fields in the authority records?  Thank you.
