    I have been working here since December 2009 and we have not had
    authority control work done on our catalog by an outside company
    since I've been here.  Our IS department has done at least one thing
    to update authorities, which was changing "cookery" to "cooking." 
    (We are upgrading to 3.7 November 7.)<br>

      <pre style="font-family:monospace">Hi everyone,

It's been over 10 years since we last had authority control work done
on our database.
I'm not sure it's worth spending money on doing it again.
Wondering how many public libraries out there have this done once in a
while, and/or keep up with it?

We are on version 3.3.4, will probably move to 3.7 early next year.

Can't decide what value we would get out of spending $13,000 when it
appears only the browsing function utilizes authority files.

Seriously interested in others opinions!
