We’ve been happy with Backstage as well. We used them with our old system and are gearing up to have them do RDA conversion and authority control now that we’re in Evergreen.

I used Backstage a few years ago for an authorities cleanup, I can confirm that they do good work -- I was very pleased with their results & thoroughness.

They've done several other Evergreen systems so they're comfortable with its ins-and-outs.

I've not personally used them but I've asked this question at the conference several times since I'd like to do the same thing with SCLENDS and I've always heard good things about Backstage from others that have used them.

Hello everyone,

Our consortium is looking to examine our DB in light of authority control, both to clean our current records as well as ongoing services.  Does anyone have any experiences with different authority control vendors they might want to share?

Thanks in advance for your help!
