[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Authorities Interest Group - Evergreen Conference

*AUTHORITY INTEREST GROUP*

*March 21, 2014*

1.Does a new authority need editing and see or see also references added 
when created? Not necessarily; the single heading is sufficient.

2.Jason Stephenson from MVLC reiterated the use of his script for 
BackStage Library Works for updating existing and new authorities on a 
quarterly basis.

3.See/See also references and Manage Authorities issues:

a. Manage Authorities does not display ‘see’ and ‘see also’ references 
upon searching; it would be helpful to have these shown in the queue 
along with the authority itself.

b. Authority re-ingest for ‘see’ and ‘see also.’

c. The ability to create authorities from the Manage Authorities page.

Current bugs:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1193490 - Authority merge 
times out when there are too many records

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1233350 - Cannot edit more 
than one authority under Manage Authorities unless you reload the page again


If there are any issues/topics I missed, please let me know.
